    • What is the offer about?

    Many chemical industries today use fossil raw materials, and the chemical industry's production volumes are predicted to increase. At the same time, the share of bio-based raw materials constitutes only a very small part of the total production today.

    The chemical industry is a major supplier of inputs to other product value chains, for example the engineering industry, the construction industry, the pulp and paper industry, the packaging industry, and the textile industry. Changing the chemical industry from fossil to bio-based raw materials is therefore a key to the bio-based transition.

    This happens when the call for proposals is closed

    When your proposal has been registered, we email a confirmation to the person responsible for the user account as well as to the project manager and the signatory. This may take a few hours after the call for proposals closes. If you have not received a confirmation within 24 hours after the call for proposals closes, please contact us.

    When the call for proposals is closed, you cannot change or fill in any new information. Then you can only supplement your proposal if we ask for it.

    Who can read your proposal?

    Applications submitted to us become public documents. But we do not disclose information about the business, inventions or research results if it can be assumed that someone will suffer financial damage if the information is shown.

    This means that we must hand over the documents if someone requests them. But we keep confidential the information that we judge could mean financial damage if it is disclosed.

    This is how we handle public documents and confidentiality
