In Brussels, on the EU Bioeconomy Policy Day, EuropaBio called for an ambitious revision of the European Bioeconomy Strategy. Such a revision would help tackle climate change and meet the needs of a growing population whilst boosting Europe\u2019s resource efficiency, competitiveness and long-term economic growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo achieve this, the revision must put in place a coherent and holistic policy and financial framework to support access to sustainably produced biomass, foster investments and further develop the market for bio-based products\u201d, said Joanna Dupont Inglis, EuropaBio\u2019s Director for Industrial Biotech and Cross-Sector Strategy.<\/p>\n
Since the launch of the \u20ac3.7 billion Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking and the Investment Plan for Europe in 2014, there have been remarkable and inspiring advances in bio-based innovation. \u201cNevertheless, \u201d said the EuropaBio membership in a statement, \u201cwe are yet to see impactful progress on commercialisation of bio-based products.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo overcome this hurdle and fulfil the bioeconomy\u2019s potential for Europe\u2019s competitiveness and growth, a revised EU Bioeconomy Strategy should address:<\/p>\n
Biomass: Circular bioeconomy should be an integral part of EU-level frameworks and policies;
\nInvestment: Increase funding and improve coherence of financing mechanisms for the circular bioeconomy;
\nInvestment: Secure the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) 2.0;
\nMarkets: Incentives for bio-based products in strategic sectors;
\nMarkets: Promote bio-based products\u2019 visibility to stimulate market demand.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the voice of the industrial biotechnology industry in Europe, which is predicted to contribute between \u20ac57,5 billion and \u20ac99,5 billion and well above 1 million jobs to the EU economy by 2030, EuropaBio is a fully committed partner in this discussion through platforms including:<\/p>\n
The European Bioeconomy Stakeholders Panel and its work on the development of a Bioeconomy Manifesto, chaired by Joanna Dupont-Inglis, Director for Industrial Biotechnology and Cross Sector Strategy at EuropaBio
\nThe European Commission Expert Group for Bio-based Products through its recommendations for a revision of the Bioeconomy Strategy
\nThe European Bioeconomy Alliance and it\u2019s policy asks for a Bioeconomy strategy revision
\nEuropaBio\u2019s recommendations for a world leading EU bioeconomy and other contributions to ongoing debates about the future of the bioeconomy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
