Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy
(KBBE)
The term “bio-economy” includes all industries
and economic sectors that produce, manage and
otherwise exploit biological resources (such as
agriculture, food, forestry, fisheries and other
bio-resource industries), and related services,
supply or consumer industries.
6
Food, agriculture and fisheries,
and biotechnology research:
Objectives

Build a European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE)

Respond to social and economic challenges:
– High quality food and sustainable food production
– Food-related disorders (cardiovascular, obesity …)
– Infectious animal diseases and zoonoses
– Sustainable agriculture/fishery and climate change
– Clean biomaterials from renewable bio-resources
7

Involve all stakeholders (incl. industry) in research

Support CAP and CFP

Respond quickly to emerging research needs

Technology Platforms
Industry-Driven, Competitiveness-Focused
European Technology Platforms - Concept
Stakeholders, led by industry, get together to define a Strategic
Research Agenda on a number of strategically important issues
with high societal relevance where achieving Europe’s future
growth, competitiveness and sustainable objectives is dependent
upon major research and technological advances in the medium
to long term.
20
Technology Platforms
Bottom-Up Approach with Industry in Lead
Wide Stakeholder Involvement
Flexibility: No “One Size Fits All”
EU Role: Facilitating and Guiding but not Leading or Owning
Majority of Strategic Research Agendas, where Appropriate, Taken
into Account in Thematic Priorities of FP7
21
Technology Platforms:
Three Stages
22
Stage 1:
Stakeholders get together and define a
common vision
Stage 2:
Stakeholders define a
Research Agenda
Stage 3:
Stakeholders implement the
Research Agenda
