About Us

In 2014 in Warsaw, under an agreement, Polish Technology Platform of Bioeconomy was established. Its signatories were among others higher education institutions, research institutes, technological parks and enterprises.

Both sides of the agreement, understanding the importance of the development of bioeconomy, have initiated a cooperation in order to integrate scientific, research and business institutions to establish the most important development pathways in the bioindustry. One of the Platform’s activities was the promotion of actions in terms of National Smart Specialization (NSS).

In 2018, during the General Stakeholders Meeting, members of the Platform made a decision about the transition from Platform to Association.

Bioeconomy Cluster Association was established in 2019 and is a voluntary, self-governing association of individuals and enterprises, science and research institutions, and other bodies known as supporting partners. The fundamental reason for the creation of the Association was the need of integration and concentration of scientific field and entrepreneurs involved in bioeconomy, with an emphasis on its cross-sectorsal impact, which encompasses the key pillars of cooperation, i.e. innovation, education, development of entrepreneurship and social communication.

We represent large, small, and micro-enterprises, non-governmental organizations, universities, and research units, therefore the organs for which issues such as bioeconomy, circular economy, waste management, climate change, protection of natural resources, and sustainable development are priorities. We are here to talk, educate and design our work in accordance with those issues.

What is Bioeconomy?
Bioeconomy, according to existing policy papers (A Sustainable Bioeconomy for Europe: strengthening the connection between economy, society and the environment. Updated Bioeconomy Strategy.), covers all sectors and systems based on biological resources - animals, plants, microorganisms, and biomass, including organic waste, and their functions and regulations. It covers and connects: ecosystems, both terrestrial and aquatic, all sectors of primary production which use and produce biological resources (agriculture, forestry, fisheries, aquaculture), and all economic and industrial sectors, which are using biological processes and resources to produce food, feed, bioproducts, energy and services.

According to the European Comission Bioeconomy Strategy, strategic objectives for the realization of future and current priorities are as follows:
1. Assurance of food and nutrition security,
2. Sustainable management of natural resources,
3. Reduction of dependence on non-renewable resources,
4. Mitigation of climate change and adaptation to those changes,
5. Strengthening European competitiveness and creation of new employment.

New bioeconomy strategy is a part of the actions taken in order to create a boost for employment, economic growth and investments in the EU. The main mission is to increase sustainable usage of natural resources in order to confront global and local challenges, such as climate change or sustainable development.
