This plaform has received express support from the CoR and "is in line with the position of the CoR which has been working on the bioeconomy, raising awareness and strengthening the local and regional dimension for the past years. The CoR has also stated that platforms such as the Bio-Based Industries Consortium, able to maximise the potential of the findings and knowledge acquired and to combine local and regional initiatives, can promote bioeconomy processes effectively."

BIC continues to collaborate with the CoR and intends to jointly launch the platform externally. More information will follow.
