POLYMERS-5B is getting started | 01.06.2024

June 1, 2024

POLYMERS-5B is one of the 31 new CBE JU-funded projects officially kicking off in June.

We look forward to meeting all the project partners in Lisbon on 17th and 18th June!

The new projects will support the achievement of the CBE JU Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) objectives, with the ultimate goal of boosting the competitiveness and increasing the resilience of Europe’s bio-based economy. These projects will develop innovative circular and sustainable bio-based consumer products and industrial solutions to replace the fossil-based ones. This will reduce the EU’s reliance on strategic imports and create new value chains, business opportunities and green jobs, particularly in rural areas.

31 new projects to receive €215 million in CBE JU funding

The new projects will support the achievement of the CBE JU Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) objectives, with the ultimate goal of boosting the competitiveness and increasing the resilience of Europe’s bio-based economy. These projects will develop innovative circular and sustainable bio-based consumer products and industrial solutions to replace the fossil-based ones. This will reduce the EU’s reliance on strategic imports and create new value chains, business opportunities and green jobs, particularly in rural areas.  

Once again, SME participation in CBE JU grants is strong, reaching one-quarter of all beneficiaries. Research organisations represent 37% of all beneficiaries, showing the bio-based sector’s strong collaborations between industry and research partners.
