Strategic edge for partners: NSBproject joins the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) as a full member!
We are thrilled to announce that as of March 2026, NSBproject has officially stepped up its commitment to the European circular bioeconomy by becoming a Full Member (Market Actor) of the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC).
This milestone marks a significant evolution in our journey. After years of collaborating within the European research ecosystem, joining BIC as a market actor allows us to play a more proactive role in shaping the future of bio-based innovation.
Why this matters
The Bio-based Industries Consortium is the private partner in the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), a €2 billion partnership between the European Union and industry.
As a full member, NSBproject will now have:
- A Seat at the Table: Influencing the strategic research and innovation agendas (SRIA) for upcoming Horizon Europe and CBE JU calls.
- Stronger Partnerships: Direct access to a network of Europe’s leading industry players, clusters, and research organizations.
- Market Leadership: Enhanced capacity to bridge the gap between high-level R&D and commercial exploitation in the bio-based sector.
What This Means for Our Partners?
For our current and future consortium partners, this status reinforces NSB’s role as a premier Exploitation and Market Uptake partner.
We aren’t just observing the market—we are actively helping define it.
By joining BIC as a full member, we are demonstrating our commitment to establishing a sustainable and competitive bio-based industry in Europe by 2050. We look forward to collaborating with fellow BIC members to turn bio-based research into sustainable market realities."
