CTA (Technological Corporation of Andalusia) has presented the European project BioINSouth at the Bioeconomy Marketplace event. The event, organized by the ‘sister projects‘RuralBioUp and BIOMODEL4REGIONS, was held on October 2 in Bologna, Italy, one day before the start of the International Forum on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioeconomy, which took place on October 3 and 4 in the same city at the Golinelli Foundation, and which was supported by BioINSouth, among other initiatives.
During her speech, María García, CTA innovation consultant, explained the objectives pursued by BioINSouth, the program that funds it and the partners that promote it, with special emphasis on the importance of such workshops to strengthen relationships between initiatives with similar missions. At the same time, he took advantage of his speech to take stock of two other projects in which CTA participates: ROBIN and BIOINSOUTH, also framed in the bioeconomy sector.
ROBIN aims to promote innovative models of governance in circular bioeconomy, in order to support regional administrations in accelerating the transition to a green economy. BIOTRANSFORM aims to provide European policy makers with an assessment framework, a knowledge base and an ecosystem of experts to accelerate the transition from linear fossil-dependent to circular bio-based systems.
About BioINSouth
BioINSouth, co-funded with 3 M€ by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE-JU), seeks to advise and provide assessment tools to public authorities and regulators in southern Europe on bioeconomy issues in order to make decisions that will help consolidate the sector.
CTA plays an integral role in BioINSouth, as it is in charge of creating regional working groups that include all key stakeholders, with a view to laying the foundations for the future hubs of the project. In addition, the Foundation draws up a map of stakeholders and supports the communication and dissemination of the initiative’s results, among other activities.
