The European BIOTRANSFORM project aims to provide European policy makers with an appropriate assessment and policy development framework, knowledge base and expert support ecosystem to accelerate the transition from linear fossil-based to circular bio-based systems.
The BIOTRANSFORM project (TRANSFORMING the Circular BIOeconomy for regions by enabling resource and governance networks) will last thirty months and its line of work will be marked by the Circular Economy and the transition to the Bioeconomy.
Andalusia is one of the six regions participating in the project as case studies. The other regions are: Northern Burgenland (Austria), Western Macedonia (Greece), in Finland, the Charles Spa region (Czech Republic) and North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). In all of them, by applying a multi-stakeholder approach, BIOTRANSFORM will develop and test its proposed framework for establishing and deploying bio-based circular systems. These regional case studies represent several important industries and transition scenarios for Europe, such as forestry, agri-food, lake ecosystems, lignite and minerals, and chemicals.

The guidelines established in the project will consider the specific regional infrastructure and resources available, conversion pathways, logistics, current policies, strategies and access to financing.
BIOTRANSFORM has received funding from the Horizon Europe program and integrates 10 European entities from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Spain and Finland.
