CBE JU has signed 31 grant agreements with project teams selected in the 2023 calls.
396 beneficiaries from 34 countries across the EU and beyond will receive nearly €215 million in funding to advance competitive circular bio-based industries in Europe, as well as develop new circular and sustainable products and solutions for the market.
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.
