Bioindustrie: prende il via il bando BBI JTI 2016, il partenariato pubblico-privato (PPP) promosso dalla Commissione europea nell’ambito della strategia europea per la Bio-economia con l’obiettivo di accelerare la creazione di una bio-industria europea competitiva.
Il bando per accedere ai finanziamenti è aperto fino alle ore 17.00 (ora locale di Bruxelles) dell’8 settembre. Il PPP vede la partecipazione dell’Ue, con la Commissione europea, e del consorzio Bio-based Industries, composto da più di 200 membri, tra grandi imprese e PmiI, cluster regionali, associazioni, istituti di ricerca e piattaforme tecnologiche, appartenenti a settori diversi, dall’agricoltura all’industria chimica. Per il periodo 2014-2020, l’Ue ha destinato al PPP sulle bio-industrie 975 milioni di euro, tramite Horizon 2020, mentre il contributo del settore industriale ammonta a 2,73 miliardi di euro, per un totale di oltre 3,7 miliardi di euro. Le domande devono essere presentate entro l’8 settembre 2016,
Il bando BBI JTI 2016, dotato di un budget di 188.650.000 euro, finanzierà progetti relativi a diversi argomenti:
