BRILIAN has been conceived to support the adoption of sustainable, cooperative business models in rural areas and enable a better transition to bio-based economies, playing a pivotal role in revitalizing these regions and fostering sustainable economic and social development, making primary producers active actors of the supply chain.

BBioNets is a thematic network that relies on, promotes and further advances the work carried out by EIP-AGRI Operational Groups (OGs) with respect to the management and/or processing of agricultural and forest biomass with Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs).

SYMBA aims at creating an innovative Industrial Symbiosis (IS) methodology to be replicated within the EU bio-based industrial ecosystem. SYMBA will implement an AI database to create zero-waste value chains, ensure more local supply chains, a better distribution of economic and social benefits among the stakeholders and an increase in the economic value of final products.

BIO2REG aims to enable the systemic transition of greenhouse gas-intensive regions through concrete and actionable measures to become bioeconomy model regions. Running from 2024 to 2026, the project is coordinated by BioökonomieREVIER at Forschungszentrum Jülich, and involves 9 partners from 8 European countries.

NUTRI-KNOW aims at improving nutrient management practices in European agriculture. By consolidating knowledge from various EIP-AGRI Operational Groups across EU member states, it seeks to address urgent needs, challenges, and opportunities for farmers.

ShapingBio aims to create a better understanding and information basis of the bioeconomy innovation eco-system by providing a comprehensive mapping and analysis of initiatives, structures, policy instruments and key gaps across the EU macro-regions and different sectors related to 1) Policy and governance 2) Applied R&D and technology transfer 3) Collaboration (cross-sectoral) 4) Financing

Primary production in agriculture and forestry represents an essential part of the European circular bioeconomy. However, the involvement of primary producers in the circular bio-based economy is still limited. C4B business models will be designed to balance the share of power and profits across novel bio-based value chains to accelerate the development of rural communities and their economic viability and enhance the cooperation among farmers, foresters and industry.
