Our focal regions

MIPs are regional networks comprising stakeholders from the entire value chain of the agri-food and bio-based sector, along with researchers, policy makers, and civil society representatives. These networks have been established in seven EU countries, with varying profiles of bioeconomy-related contexts such as feedstocks, value chains, policy frameworks, stakeholder attributes, needs, perceptions, and socio-economic contexts. Each MIP is led by a consortium partner, serving as the MIP leader, and aims to bring together key regional players and knowledge holders with diverse backgrounds, expertise, and interests. The MIPs aim to support collaboration, explore opportunities, co-create solutions, and drive innovation to mainstream small-scale bio-based solutions.
