Description and objectives
POWER4BIO strengthens the regions of the European Union towards the bioeconomy. Using a participatory approach, it develops a catalog of business models tailored to ten regions. It provides tools and guidance for implementing sound bioeconomic strategies, covering five regions in Central and Eastern Europe and five in Western Europe.
The project promotes mutual learning, establishes Regional Bioeconomy Centers, updates local strategies and creates a catalog of biomodel business models. It fosters cooperation, capacity building and networking among actors, resulting in concrete achievements such as technologies and business models, Regional Centers, interregional bridges, visits and tools for the Bioregional Strategy. These results contribute to the promotion of the bioeconomy in the participating regions.
