BIONetZero

The BIONetZero project supports innovation and the adoption of new processes and advanced technologies in biosolutions for the agrifood and energy-intensive industries. At the same time, it builds capacity and accelerates the transformation towards a greener, more digital, and resilient economy.

The project aims to reduce the dependency of European companies on critical inputs and technologies, enabling them to establish net-zero production and retain critical raw materials through the development of novel biosolutions, substitutes, innovative products, and services.

Throughout the project’s duration, the consortium will provide opportunities for more than 100 Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the agrifood and energy-intensive sectors. These opportunities will include networking activities and support in establishing connections with experts, investors, and technology providers.

The project will also organize networking events, site visits, and investment events. Participating SMEs will be assigned a Key Account Manager (KAM) from the consortium who will support them in developing their biosolutions, identifying suitable mentors and specialists, and building a strong network of contacts.

BIONetZero brings together the excellence and extensive networks of four European clusters. The project is coordinated by Food & Bioeconomy Cluster Denmark (FBCD) and implemented together with the SMART Food Clustermanaged by the Lithuanian Food Exporters Association (LitMEA), the Bioeconomy Cluster (BEC) from Slovakia, and the Cluster of Industrial Biotechnology (CLIB) from Germany. Together, this experienced consortium will provide tailored technical, strategic, and financial support to a wide range of companies.
