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.

Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy(KBBE)

7

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

Involve all stakeholders (incl. industry) in research Support CAP and CFP Respond quickly to emerging research needs

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.


21

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


22

Technology Platforms:

Three Stages

Stage 1: Stakeholders get together and define a common vision

Stage 2: Stakeholders define a Strategic Research Agenda

Stage 3: Stakeholders implement the Strategic Research Agenda
