SuperBIO offers
innovation support under the form of up € 60,000 vouchers to be spent on
services aimed at supporting the commercialisation of innovation by SMEs.
SuperBIO represents
a unique opportunity to bring innovative, sustainable, cross border
and cross sectorial value chains closer to the
market.
Six services
providers have been selected as part of the project consortium to offer a set
of ten independent professional innovation support services: scale-up and
proof-of-concept, IP support, life cycle assessment, techno-economic appraisal,
feedstock analysis, market research, sustainability appraisal, regulatory
landscape evaluation, business planning, access to investors and grant writing.
These services are
funded by the project at 75%, the remaining 25% being covered by the SME applying
and benefiting from the services.
The SuperBIO consortium
includes four industrial cluster organisations (from Belgium, France, Spain and
Poland) as well as six service providers (from the UK, Germany and Belgium).
NNFCC's role
A flourishing
innovative bioeconomy offers multiple advantages for the EU in the
global economy. To further innovate within the European bioeconomy, new
partnerships and connections need to be established between different sectors
(e.g. between chemistry and agriculture, between producers and end-users).
NNFCC will work
alongside five other service providers, drawing on its network to identify
value chains stakeholders through its extensive network within the bioeconomy
and the wider business community. It will specifically provide sustainability
assessments, regulatory landscape evaluations, market research, techno economic
appraisals as well as develop and review business plans.
