BioBASE, a funded project partner of Bioeconomy Austria, is the driving force behind the bioeconomy and circular economy with the aim of accelerating a transformation towards a biobased, sustainable economy. We are the first point of contact for all stakeholders from business, science and politics who are involved in the bioeconomy and circular economy. We bring the different actors together, offer exchanges and networking, support research projects and create public awareness and status for the topics of bioeconomy and circular economy.
BioBASE supports the regional clusters in identifying common thematic fields and subsequently derives concrete projects and consortia from them. In the course of the project, these approaches will also be expanded and transferred to other bio-based raw materials besides wood. In detail, this means: BioBASE is responsible for the Austria-wide consolidation of the topics from the individual regional clusters. It thus supports the supra-regional and cross-sectoral networking of actors along the entire value chain. In doing so, BioBASE uses the established, new thematic hubs, which then subsequently represent the knowledge carriers of the bioeconomy cluster.
In addition, BioBASE wants to initiate new RTI projects from the most promising topics together with powerful consortia from industry and science, which BioBASE will accompany all the way to implementation. In this way, the current topics of the individual hubs or from the entire cluster will be built upon and strengthened by means of BioBASE’s know-how and network in order to achieve the Austria-wide anchoring of the bioeconomy along the value chain. BioBASE focuses in particular on the development of inter- and transdisciplinary consortia in order to further advance innovation and technology development. In addition, BioBASE plans to take the lead in addressing other actors with the entire consortium, starting with the raw material wood, and to expand the bioeconomy efforts of the cluster to include one or more of the topics listed below. In doing so, BioBASE relies on an established network across the entire range of the bioeconomy.
