The strategic innovation programme Bioinnovation
Bioinnovation is based on the strategic innovation agenda "A bio-based economy", which will contribute to increasing Sweden’s competitiveness within the bio-based economy. The aim is that Sweden will have completed the transition to a bio-based economy by 2050. The starting point of the programme is collaboration across industry boundaries, primarily within the forestry, chemistry and textile industries.
Closed for application
In this the call for March 5th and September 3rd, we support innovative research and innovation projects that deal with a radical and innovative hypothesis. The call has two application periods.
For project with the aim of using every carbon atom as efficiently and for as long as possible for the best possible energy extraction
We support innovative, smaller research and innovation projects that deal with a radical and innovative question.
We support project that develop processes for the production of bio-based platform chemicals or specialty chemicals
In this call, BioInnovation finances projects that develop new or further develop processes for a circular bioeconomy. The goal is for the projects to create the conditions for an increased amount of bio-based products on the market and an efficient use of the bio raw material. The production of competitive products from bio-based raw materials requires the development of new and existing processes. High production costs with existing technology currently inhibit investments in bio-based alternatives. Processes are also needed that ensure correct and stable product quality, even though there are variations in the composition and quality of the raw material.
In this the offer, we support innovative, smaller research and innovation projects that address a radical and innovative issue. This means that the newness and uncertainty may be higher than in more traditional project. You can apply for this the offer at any time during the year. The offer has several different application periods.
For organizations that want to do an innovation procurement that contributes to the transition to a bio-based economy.
Funding of project that increase the proportion of bio-based products, components and materials designed for circular flows.
The call concerns doctoral and postdoctoral and postdoctoral projects in a business research school. The primary purpose is to produce research results for the development of resource efficiency in bio-based industrial processes. The desired effects include strengthened competitiveness through new basic knowledge and increased pace of innovation as well as secured long-term supply of skills in industry and academia.
In this offer, we support smaller research and innovation projects covering radical and innovative issues. The novelty and risk can be higher than in more traditional projects.
Do you have an innovative, smaller research and innovation project that deals with a radical and innovative issue within Bioinnovation?
We finance projects that want to develop bio-based materials or material systems for circular flows.
We support projects that intend to create the conditions for more bio-based products on the market. Projects in Sweden or Finland.
