The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) has released a new overview of financial instruments available to support European bioeconomy development.

‘Access to EU financial instruments suitable for the implementation of large bio-based industry investments’ outlines a range of funding opportunities and explores the synergies between different instruments for co-financing bio-based projects.

Bioeconomy investments are crucial to reduce Europe’s dependence on non-renewable resources and to make our economy more sustainable. BIC’s report is a practical guide for anyone looking to invest in the bioeconomy, providing a breakdown of applicable instruments and co-funding opportunities, ranging from debt and equity to quasi-equity financing and grants.
