Offerings
TransBIB offers comprehensive support and access to information for bioeconomy stakeholders. A central “one-stop shop” is used to record and network infrastructures throughout Germany. In addition, TransBIB helps with the development of new bio-based value chains, the networking of experts and offers practical support with regulatory issues and certifications. Companies can also take part in specialised training courses and use transformation strategies to secure their competitiveness in the bioeconomic transition.
1. inventory of the "one-stop shop" bioeconomy
Knowledge on the bioeconomy has so far been very scattered and fragmented. TransBIB is conducting a Germany-wide inventory of industrial sites, scaling infrastructures and databases and making these available to all stakeholders via a new “one-stop shop”. These include, for example (excerpt):
- DBFZ resource database (biomass potential)
- Pilots4U (pilot and scaling plants in Europe)
- BRENDA (enzymes)
Would you like to use databases or make your own databases available, do you have further questions about the one-stop shop?
Please contact Dennis Herzberg & Dr Markus Müller (transbib@clib-cluster.de)
2. development and evaluation of new bio-based value chains
In TransBIB, a digital tool is used to record and develop existing material flows and processing technologies and competences in order to develop new value creation networks. To this end, results from previous projects are utilised and applied in participating competence regions. The new value chains will be assessed for their feasibility and sustainability. Implementation concepts will then be developed across the board with the support of the competence regions.
Are you interested in developing new value creation options?
Contact persons are Dennis Herzberg & Dr Markus Müller (transbib@clib-cluster.de)
3. nationwide "bottom-up" networking of the bioeconomy regions and their stakeholders
TransBIB promotes the active networking of example regions of the industrial bioeconomy, regional clusters and networks. Their multifaceted nature and broad thematic portfolio harbours enormous knowledge and economic potential. The diverse competences and expertise are to be made visible and usable nationwide and internationally. Solutions are to find their users and cooperation projects are to be developed.
Your contacts for networking and cooperation are Romann Glowacki & Dr Matthias Scholz (transbib@tum.de)
4. establishment of a pool of expertise
Germany has a unique pool of knowledge carriers across all specialised areas of the bioeconomy. The existing expertise is to be made accessible and usable via a pool of expertise. Networking and communication is the central task of knowledge management in TransBIB. It should be possible to cover any knowledge requirements that arise immediately and easily. The aim of setting up a matchmaking platform is to create a moderated marketplace: this is where consulting needs and questions can be placed in order to find the specialist expertise you are looking for.
Register in the competence pool without obligation. Take the opportunity to contribute your expertise and benefit from the advantages of a Germany-wide network.
Contact: Dr Lucas Baumgart (transbib@provadis-hochschule.de)
5. easy access to regulatory and certification topics
TransBIB will provide easy access to certification for companies and stakeholders and develop proposals to simplify the process. The basis is a broad-based stakeholder dialogue with certifiers, auditors and companies from bioeconomy sectors.
Regulatory barriers to the transformation to a circular bioeconomy are systematically recorded and addressed.
Contact person for regulations and certifications is Stefan Majer (stefan.majer@dbfz.de)
6. training the professionals of the future
The transition of all economic sectors to bio-based, circular systems requires special skills for industry specialists. TransBIB is developing industry-specific training concepts to counteract a shortage of skilled labour in Germany and enable a knowledge-based transformation. Knowledge and expert skills are imparted in workshop formats in order to bring specialist expertise to companies. Partnerships and joint projects are the key to new concepts and value chains.
Are you a future thinker yourself who wants to learn about new materials and technologies? Do you want to bring knowledge about innovative approaches into your company? Then get in touch with us and attend our industry workshops.
Contact Dr Thomke Bergs & Prof. Dr Ulrich Schwaneberg (transbib@rwth-aachen.de)
7. company analysis: transformation strategies for a bio-based economy
Biologisation offers companies both strategic and concrete competitive advantages. Rising energy and raw material prices, CO2 certificates and increasing regulatory hurdles are increasing competitive pressure.
With TransBIB, we offer an in-depth analysis of your company, jointly develop suitable technology and implementation approaches for bio-based processes and products and thus provide translation concepts for future measures to close the loop and increase efficiency.
Would you like to take part in the pilot analyses to strengthen the future viability of your company?
Contact persons are Marie Teichmann (marie.teichmann@ite.uni-hannover.de), Prof. Dr Stefanie Heiden (stefanie.heiden@ite.uni-hannover.de) and Dr Henning Lucas (henning.lucas@ite.uni-hannover.de).
8. target group-specific communication
All offers, services and information from TransBIB are made available on a multifunctional website tailored to the needs of the target groups.
