The BioBase4SME network, representing leading bio-based economy experts,
support SMEs and start-ups across North-West Europe on how to develop new ideas
into marketable products. The BioBase4SME expert network organises workshops on
specific topics, diverse training events and an innovation bio-camp.
Furthermore, SMEs and start-ups can
apply for bio-innovation
coupons with a value up to €100.000 when looking for
technical (process development, scale-up…) and non-technical support (LCA,
application testing, market research, business plan coaching, social
acceptance…). For more information on the project: www.nweurope.eu/BioBase4SME.
Notes
to editors:
1. The project:
The European Commission has launched through
its INTERREG NWE Programme a three-year project “BioBase4SME” to further
support the development of the biobased economy in North West Europe (NWE). The
€5.83 million project will help start-ups and Small and Medium Enterprises
(SMEs) to overcome technological and non-technological barriers on their path
to turn biobased research into commercial innovation. BioBase4SME offers
training, innovation biocamps, workshops and innovation coupons worth up to
€100.000. The BioBase4SME partnership includes eight organisations from six
different countries http://www.nweurope.eu/BioBase4SME
