Progress in the Transition Towards a Biobased Economy and New Biobased Business Cases: the Vanguard Initiative Bioeconomy Pilot
Short Introductive summary
The Vanguard Initiative new growth through smart specialisation is driven by a political commitment made by regions to use their smart specialisation strategy to boost new growth through bottom-up entrepreneurial innovation and industrial renewal in European priority areas. The Vanguard Initiative seeks to lead by example in developing interregional cooperation and multi-level governance for supporting clusters and regional eco-systems to focus on smart specialisations in priority areas for transforming and emerging industries. Within Vanguard, the Bioeconomy Pilot aims at supporting the deployment of high TRL technologies, through the setting up of transregional value chains in an industry-driven process, where public support comes into play to help bridging the valley of death. We have mandate to facilitate networking and access to competence and funding through European Regions. We operate along four main Demo Cases: Lignocellulosic Biorefineries, Bioaromatics, Biopolymers and Liquified Biomethane.
