With the support of the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) and the Forest-based sector Technology Platform, Xylofutur is organising with 3 French clusters (Valorial, Vegepolys Valley and Polymeris) an online networking event to encourage cooperation under the CBE-JU calls. It takes place on 26 May at 9.00 (CEST).

After an introduction by BIC, to give some practical information on how to build an efficient consortium, participants can either pitch their expertise or search for partners or just attend the session to learn more about who is doing what in the field of bioeconomy in Europe.
Following topics are covered by the calls: forest-based value chains, bio-based composites and (co-)polymers, bio-based packaging, bio-based fertilizers, biorefineries… and many more!

The event targets specifically companies (all size, from start-ups to large ones) and academia from across Europe but cluster organisations are more than welcome to join.

Registration is mandatory and open until 22 May.
For participants who want to pitch, a template for the presentation slides will be provided by the organisation team.
The pitch can’t exceed 3 minutes, must be held in English and relate to one of the open calls of CBE-JU.

FTP has selected 13 CBE-JU calls relevant to the forest-based sector, find the list on FTP Database.
