The emerging bio-based industries sector,
coordinated by the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), is cooperating with
the European Commission to create a new public-private partnership under
Horizon Europe. The objective is to build on and expand on the achievements of
the existing Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU).
The SIRA 2030 sets out the main technological and
innovation challenges to establish a sustainable and competitive bio-based
industry in Europe. It reflects the Vision ‘The circular bio-society in 2050’ and
forms the basis for the new PPP (Public–Private Partnership). The SIRA2030 is a roadmap towards realising
the ambitions of that Vision with milestones for 2030.
