About
What we bring to table
The project brings to you free access in a Multi-actor Innovation Platform, where regional stakeholders with diverse backgrounds, expertise and interests are members and build networks and partnerships between them, but also free of charge innovation support services and an open for all digital Toolkit.
There are two types of support services, the technical and the business ones.
On the first hand, technical services are meant to:
- support the deployment of small-scale bio-based solutions with production processes
- advise on the collection of technical data (e.g., mass balance, energy costs) and different steps across a pilot project (e.g., on product characteristics and quality)
- scale up and optimize the efficiency of a specific project
- recommend best nutrient recycling practices, elaborate management nutrient plans, monitor recycling
On the other hand, business support services are meant to:
- design of sustainable business models, in line with regional specificities
- help to better understand bio-based markets and the respective value chains support the addressing of challenges via experts and business leaders
- support the identification and seizing of financing (e.g., loans) and funding opportunities
- provide networking via events and networks, in order to build partnerships, demonstrate solutions and find customers at local and EU level.
On the other hand, business support services are meant to:
- support the identification of suitable to you bio-based solutions
- design of sustainable business models, in line with regional specificities
- help to better understand bio-based markets and the respective value chains support the addressing of challenges via experts and business leaders
- support the identification and seizing of financing (e.g., loans) and funding opportunities
- provide networking via events and networks, in order to build partnerships, demonstrate solutions and find customers at local and EU level.
In cooperation with support services, MainstreamBIO digital Toolkit provides you with six useful tools:
A catalogue of small-scale bio-based technologies, business models and social innovations,
for cross-case comparison and assessment of opportunities for business endeavours
A collection of best practices for improved nutrient recycling,
to successfully manage nutrients and organic matter recycling back to soils
A Decision Support System,
which helps you match the available biomass and waste streams with small-scale bio-based technologies, business models and social innovations
A Bioeconomy Repository,
whose purpose is to aggregate educational material from such bio-based projects and raise awareness on bioeconomy educational resources
A Tool Library,
which provides you with access to many bioeconomy tools (bioresource mapping, catalogues, side stream value tool, etc.) from other projects relative to bioeconomy
A BioForum,
to communicate, exchange ideas, solutions and good practices and connect with other members of the Multi-actor Innovation Platforms
