With the funding concept “bioeconomy innovation spaces”, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF) supports the development of bioeconomic innovations as drivers for a sustainable, biobased economy. The aim is to use research results more comprehensively than ever before and to initiate processes that become building blocks of change in society as a whole to the benfit of the bioeconomy. The scientific prerequisites for this are excellent in Germany. There is great potential for new ideas. By uniting several projects within the innovation spaces the BMBF is creating platforms for science, industry and society to collaborate under a shared vision and use these ideas for cross-sector innovations.
There are four innovation spaces in Germany: NewFoodSystems, BIOTEXFUTURE, Blaue Ökonomie (BaMS) and Bioökonomie im Ballungsraum – BioBall.
