Bio-economy in Europe: the regional approach

Transcription

1 Bio-economy in Europe: the regional approach Carolien Huisman-Zilverentant Milan,

2 Spotlight on the bioeconomy potential of EU regions The importance of regions Best practice: Biobased Delta Cooperation of leading regions

3 What is the importance of the Bioeconomy in Europe? 2 billion euro annual turnover 22 million employees key element in Europe's green growth high potential for profit, people and planet answer to societal challenges

4 Transition: the only way is bio from: fossil feedstock price rises stocks run out few producers unstable regions environmental problems >25 years to: renewable feedstock world market prices inexhaustible many producers chances for each region low CO2

5 Main message CoR report 10 building blocks for a succesful European bioeconomy Europe needs to speed up the development of the bio-economy Innovation is necessary to stay competative Bring European strategy to practice CoR asks the European Commission to: Develop a concrete strategy: high-value driven and triple-helix, sustainable and linking chains. Use an integrated approach based on multi-funding Base the approach on non-conflicting measurements with enough room for regions 5

6 1. Bio-economy is a cross-sectoral theme value Pharma amount Food & Feed Chemicals & Materials Transport fuels Power & heat

7 2. Transition will take time Long term investments in R&D are neccesary. Develop strategies beyond 2020 Work together in the value chain

8 3. Make it sustainable! High value strategy Develop sustainabilty criteria Accelerated use of 2nd and 3rd generation of biomass

9 4. Coordination is key Practical implementation at regional/local level Multi-fund approach Align policy themes

10 5. Develop a road map

11 6. Specify the bio-economy panel Make goal and operation of panel explicit multistakeholder forum for discussing solutions what are the competences of the national, regional and local panels?

12 7. Involve all stakeholders Engage civil society Triple helix: form relationships between science, policy and society Well educated employees are necessary

13 8. SME's and PPP's in the core Easier acces to finance for SME's. Advisory SME panel

14 9. Create a level playing field Lift trade boundaries to stimulate development Prevent negative consequences

15 10. Learn from best practices Bottom-up initiatives Demand-driven approach Front-running regions Smart impulses Stairway to excellence

16 Let's get this motor running. businessdriven high TRL front running clusters awareness roadmap with impact

17 Regions: drivers for Europe s bio-economy Clusters form on local/regional scale Linking pin for Triple-Helix cooperation Familiar with available value chains, organise the supply-chain Close relation to SME's Common vision and strategy: platforms and programs Important for raising public-awareness Facilitate services and facilities Interregional cooperation: steep learning curve Analysis and upscaling of best practices Multi-fund approach close to market Analyse and tackle bottlenecks They sharpen the bioeconomy strategy from practice!

18 Biobased Delta: Agro meets Chemistry

19 IntroductionBiobased Delta Based on strengths of the region Focus: Green feedstock, building blocks, Sustainable process industry Excellent geographic position and infrastructure Triple Helix approach 100+ companies Strong links with research and education Open Innovation International orientation Bi obased Delta VL ESIF region Biobased North NL Biobased East NL Source B NRW

24 Zuid-Holland: metropolitan region Mainport Greenport Den Haag Amsterdam Greenports Schiphol largest in the w orld Airport flow ers, plants, fruits, vegetables, trees, flower bulbs leading in technolgy for crop growing and inward processing strong cluster with auction markets, transport, businesses and know legde providers production value: 8 billion euro/year 5300 hectares cultivated area Knowlegde axis: World class knowledge development in: Brainport Life & Health Sciences Space technology Water & Delta technology Biotechnology and Chemistry Rotterdam Mainport Rotterdam Number 11 in the w orld, largest in Europe 435 mio tons freight shipped in 2011 and growing Ambition to become 'Europe's industrial cluster' and 'Global Hub' w hile leading the field in efficiency and sustainability

25 Growth potential of leading clusters is solid Potential growth, estimated from market development and an performance comparable to the best-performing regions in each sector Potential growth, estimated from market development and an performance comparable to historic performances of Zuid- Holland

26 Excellent starting position for development of Biobased Economy Agro Chemisty Logistics Energy Strong knowlegde infrastructure

30 European clusters working together

31 European Inter-cluster on Bioeconomy To develop R&I projects driven by industries. To develop Technological partnerships between our respective members. To help the development of the European Bio-Based industries value chain Agro meets chemistry Your Gateway to the French Bioeconomy

32 Big-C Strong basis with universities, higher education, research institutes and facilities for training and testing: complementarity Deep-sea harbours and multimodal transport link all locations

33 Regional strategies Science park Bioeconomy strategy

34 Examples of regional frontrunners in the bioeconomy. No one-size fits all!

35 Biobased Industry Consortium 3.8 billion Euro s Flagship projects Industry agenda

36 Vanguard initiative European regions join together in their S3 strategy Leading by example For now 3 pilotsadvanced Manufacturing Proposal to investigate Bioeconomy as new topic in Vanguard by Zuid-Holland (supported by Lombardy) in november 2014 Next steps: questionnaire to interested regions, mapping and scoping.
