1. Supported by Public-Private Partnerships for the Bioeconomy: The Bio-Based Industries Joint Initiative: Connecting Biobased Value Chains and Networks in Europe Marcel Wubbolts Chair BIC, Vice-Chair BBI CTO Royal DSM

2. WHY A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP?

3. To ‘de-risk’ an emerging industry A clear framework that brings clarity for activities & investments Long term stability and predictability A joint approach, across sectors, across nations Joint financial commitment and a jointly defined programme, that will unite parties that would otherwise find these activities to be too risky for an individual sector/company to carry out on its own Leverage further investments (e.g. regions funding) Industry driven and therefore result and market-oriented

4. THE BIO-BASED INDUSTRIES CONSORTIUM

5. About BIC Established in 2012/2013 to represent the private sector in the Public-Private Partnership on Bio-based Industries (BBI) Main tasks to date: Define the BBI’s Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA) Lead the development and drafting of the annual BBI Work Plans and Call for Proposals topics Mobilise industry (large, SMEs, SME Clusters), research organisations, universities, regions and all relevant stakeholders across Europe that are active or interested in the field of bio- based. A multi-sector organisation, and still growing: Agriculture Agro-food Forestry / Pulp and Paper Biotechnology / Technology providers / End users Chemicals Energy

6. Strategic Innovation & Research Agenda Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals & biomaterials realising the feedstock and technology base for the next generation of fuels, chemicals and materials Value Chain 2: Next generation forest-based value chains utilisation of the full potential of forestry biomass by improved mobilisation and realisation of new added value products and markets Value Chain 3: Next generation agro-based value chains realising the highest sustainability and added value by improved agricultural production, and new added value products and markets Value Chain 4: New value chains from (organic) waste from waste problems to economic opportunities by realising sustainable technologies to convert waste into valuable products Value Chain 5: Integrated energy, pulp and chemicals biorefineries realising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards integration with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value components
