2 THE BIO-BASED INDUSTRIES CONSORTIUM

3 BIC s mission and activities To build new bio-based value chains by developing new biorefining technologies, optimising feedstock use and creating a favourable business and policy climate to accelerate market acceptance of bio-based products Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) established in The Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) was officially established under EU Council Regulation No. 560/2014 of 6 May It is an independent legal entity that manages the publicprivate partnership (PPP) between the European Commission and the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC). Activities: Set up and update the BBI s Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA) Lead the writing of the Annual Work Plans with topics for the Calls for Proposals Mobilise stakeholders: industry (large and SME), research organisations, universities, regions and relevant stakeholders across Europe Assist members gaining better access to European financial instruments Create awareness. At regional level: MoU with ERRIN, Vanguard Initiative, Polish regions,

4 Our members 76 Full members (active in bio-based sector) 31 Large industries 29 SMEs 16 SME Clusters (representing 110 SMEs) Several industrial sectors covered Agriculture & Agri-food Forestry & Pulp and Paper Technology providers Chemicals & materials Energy & Biofuel 162 Associate members (interested in BIC activities) Universities, RTOs, European associations & organisations, Technology Platforms (ETPs), Public institutions, Regions, Private bank,

5 Why a JTI with the EC To de-risk an emerging industry through: A clear framework that brings clarity for activities & investments Long term stability and predictability A joint approach, across sectors, across Member States Joint financial commitment and a jointly defined programme, that will unite parties that would otherwise find these activities too risky for an individual sector/company Leverage further investments Industry driven and therefore result and market-oriented
