ShapingBio’s Post

📢 [SURVEY] Cross-sectoral collaboration in bioeconomy! 🌱 ShapingBio is a Horizon Europe project aiming to create a better understanding and information basis of the #bioeconomy #innovation eco-system, including the #agrifood sector. 💡This survey covers specific questions on sectors, collaborative structure types, geographic scope, SMEs and financing. The results of the survey will be used to identify gaps & best practise and develop recommendations to support cross-sectoral collaboration bioeconomy. All the final reports will be made publicly available on the project website. By participating in this survey, you will be contributing to strategic knowledge development for policy makers and innovation stakeholders on the potential and opportunities of the bioeconomy, as well as overcoming hurdles to realize its potential.   👉 Answer the survey: https://lnkd.in/euFTgdVZ 📅Deadline: March 26, 2024.   This is an anonymous survey and no personal data is needed!   Find out more about the project: https://www.shapingbio.eu/ María Isabel Cisneros Dr. Piret Fischer

Last week with Christina Zinke we had the opportunity to present our poster on regional bioeconomy models in the Statuskonferenz Bioenergie 2023. Here we presented our analysis in #BRANCHES Project on the different bioeconomy implementation pathways at regional level in Europe. Final recommendations will be presented in our last deliverable to the project’s regions and key value chains. #bioeconomy

🌿 Coming Soon: Global Biochar Industry Study! 🌿 Get ready for the launch of the Global Biochar Industry Study, a partnership initiative between the International Biochar Initiative and US Biochar Initiative - Scaling Biochar Carbon Removal since 2009. You can be a part of shaping the #biochar industry's future! Your participation in the study will provide:  🌐 Aggregated Insights – A biochar market snapshot, released in Feb 2024, of anonymized, regionalized data in a free report! 👥An Act of Service – Your input fuels funding, policy change, media attention, and outreach around biochar! 🌱 Impacts and Guidance –  Help direct organizations like IBI, USBI, and others. Stay tuned for details on how to participate — launching 6 November! 🌍  #BiocharStudy #IndustryInsights #GlobalImpact #CarbonMarkets #CDR

European industries call for a bold and impactful Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative🌱🚀   🤝Alongside with 17 stakeholders across Europe are supporting these five core principles for the forthcoming EU Biotech and Biomanufacturing initiative. For the Alliance for Biosolutions the need of a significant paradigm shift towards regulation and legislative framework conditions that prioritize bio-innovation and sustainable solutions based on biotechnology, acknowledging these as fundamental drivers of the green transition is KEY.🔑 Biosolututions such as sustainable sources of protein, bioplastics, biocement and bioasphalt plays a key role in delivering on international climate goals   Therefore, the principles should be embedded into consideration of EU legislations, ensuring convergence, rather than divergence, for innovation across frameworks.   🙏 Thank you to EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries for initiating this coalition   Learn more about the 5 principles here: https://lnkd.in/eFKUjKRt   And re-read our 10 principles for biosolutions sent to the Commission earlier: https://lnkd.in/d4jYxJVi

Excited to join the concluding panel of the EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries Biomanufacturing Policy Summit! 🌟 Join me and other industry leaders as we discuss "How does Policy deliver for Biomanufacturing - Looking Ahead." We'll be wrapping up the Summit, sharing key takeaways, and discussing priorities and next steps for Europe's biomanufacturing vision and policies.

The European Commission’s JRC Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy recently published a very interesting report: ‘Exploring Foresight Scenarios for the EU Bioeconomy’. With the help of 100 bioeconomy stakeholders, it provides very interesting foresight for the future of the #bioeconomy in Europe. Many of the report’s recommendations to policy makers are fully in line with the conclusions of Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) Stakeholder Forum and provide food for thoughts for current and future policy initiatives at European level: - Establish coherent policies across bioeconomy sectors - Promote cross stakeholder collaboration - Investing in learning and development opportunities - Unlock investments to scale up biobased markets - increase awareness and education https://lnkd.in/ebGQWNie |John Bell |Rob Beekers |Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC)

As I reflect on last month's World Bioeconomy Roundtable on "Investing in Bioproducts – Drivers and Obstacles" at Pulp & Beyond in Messukeskus, Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre, it becomes clear to me that the new bioeconomy that we all aspire will not fulfill its ambition if it replicates the common fundamentals of the classic economy, that is, to maximize short term returns to shareholders. At Suzano we believe we must generate and share value with ALL our stakeholders, with a long term mentality. We must work together, recognizing that the global sustainability agenda requires collaboration and not competition between regions and sectors. Stopping climate change is urgent. Society is slowly understanding this reality, decarbonization and protection of biodiversity are musts and are at the core of our strategy and business. We, at Suzano, are convinced that we are part of the solution through our planted farms and our offering of renewable products to replace fossil-based ones. We are not perfect and still have lots of opportunities to improve our positive impact, but with humility, experience, and hard work, we are determined to plant a better future. I just hope our grandsons – mine and yours – will be able to celebrate our next 100 years!
