A technology may work in the laboratory – the crucial question is whether it can also be made economically viable on a larger scale. The ‘Physics for Food’ project illustrates this approach using the example of cold plasma in food preservation and highlights the importance of scaling up, technology transfer and close collaboration between research and industry.

How does a bio-based material concept developed through research and development actually make its way into industrial application? The GrasToPlast project shows that this requires far more than just a working technology.

From skills gaps to upskilling: A one-pager from the TransBIB skills and training needs analysis highlights the skills that specialists and managers in the automotive, plastics and lightweight construction/construction sectors need for the bioeconomic transformation – and which learning formats are effective.

From research and development, through biomass and scaling, to companies and products: the TransBIB data collection brings together relevant bioeconomy databases across the entire value chain. In this interview, we show you what you can discover there.

Building on the findings from the round-table discussions held previously, supplementary online surveys were carried out to gather further perspectives on the topics of construction, chemistry and meat substitutes.

Our TransBIB project partner, the University of Greifswald, will now join forces with the Vorpommern-Greifswald Adult Education Centre and the winner of the challenge, the German Biomass Research Centre (DBFZ) in Leipzig, to integrate the topic of the bioeconomy into adult education in a way that is both accessible and practical.
