Specific Challenge:The implementation of bioeconomy solutions and related value chains on large scale depends heavily on the market acceptance of bio-based products. The fact that the price of bio-based products generally tends to be higher than the relevant fossil-based counterparts is still hindering the widespread take-up of these products. In addition to developing more features and better performance for the bio-based products and justifying a potentially premium price, the bio-based industry also needs to further increase consumers’ and brand owners’ awareness of the sustainability of bio-based products.

Specific Challenge:The implementation of bioeconomy solutions and related value chains on large scale depends heavily on the market acceptance of bio-based products. The fact that the price of bio-based products generally tends to be higher than the relevant fossil-based counterparts is still hindering the widespread take-up of these products. In addition to developing more features and better performance for the bio-based products and justifying a potentially premium price, the bio-based industry also needs to further increase consumers’ and brand owners’ awareness of the sustainability of bio-based products.

Whereas Topic BBI 2016.S31 set out to build a ‘think and do’ platform to increase mutual knowledge of possibilities and opportunities between producers and potential users of bio-based products, this topic focuses on involving brand owners and consumer representatives in the ‘targeting’ of bio-based value chains. The aim is to deliver products for relevant and necessary applications in consumer markets.

Specific Challenge:The implementation of bioeconomy solutions and related value chains on large scale depends heavily on the market acceptance of bio-based products.

In addition to developing more features and better performance for the bio-based products and justifying a potentially premium price, the bio-based industry also needs to further increase consumers’ and brand owners’ awareness of the sustainability of bio-based products.

Whereas Topic BBI 2016.S31 set out to build a ‘think and do’ platform to increase mutual knowledge of possibilities and opportunities between producers and potential users of bio-based products, this topic focuses on involving brand owners and consumer representatives in the ‘targeting’ of bio-based value chains. The aim is to deliver products for relevant and necessary applications in consumer markets.

The specific challenge is to provide routes and means to increase cooperation and partnership between the different actors to achieve the market uptake of bio-based products. Industry should cooperate with brand owners and consumer representatives since they have a strategic role in better understanding market behaviours and needs. Meeting this challenge will also accelerate the crossing of the ‘valley of death’ from the research phase to commercialisation of a new product.

Scope:Proposals should develop the structure and procedures for and implement the cooperation of the bio-based industry and brand owners and consumers to incorporate their knowledge and expertise on market changes and trends. The aim would be to increase market acceptance of bio-based products.

Proposals should seek complementarity with the projects funded under other topics1,2 to avoid overlap and promote synergies.

Proposals should also involve other stakeholders who could accelerate the marketability and public acceptance of bio-based products through new policies and strategies, for example local communities, local authorities, and other industrial actors.

The industry should actively participate to help prove the benefits of the project results to the full bio-based sector.

Work should also build upon existing standardisation documents and allow for the necessary pre-and co-normative research for the development of new standardisation documents and validated approaches, including B2B and B2C communication.

Indicative funding: It is considered that proposals requesting a contribution of maximally EUR 1 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately.

Expected Impact: contribute to KPI 1: create at least 2 new cross-sector interconnections in bio-based economy clusters; higher brand owners’ involvement in and commitment to the bioeconomy, increasing the marketability of bio-based products; higher consumer awareness of sustainability and of the opportunities associated with bio-based products with better features and improved performance compared with the relevant fossil-based counterparts.

Financial Chapters: The chapters of financing expenses for this line are:
Personnel costs.
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Purchase costs.
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
Subcontracting costs.
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante
Madurez tecnológica: The processing of this aid requires a minimum technological level in the project of TRL 5:. Los elementos básicos de la innovación son integrados de manera que la configuración final es similar a su aplicación final, es decir que está listo para ser usado en la simulación de un entorno real. Se mejoran los modelos tanto técnicos como económicos del diseño inicial, se ha identificado adicionalmente aspectos de seguridad, limitaciones ambiéntales y/o regulatorios entre otros. + info.
