Bioindustry 2021

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The BioIndustrie 2021 cluster competition is a funding measure of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), which took place on August 31, 2006 under the name "BioIndustrie 2021 - Cluster competition for the development of new products and processes in industrial biotechnology" in the framework program "Biotechnology - Using and shaping opportunities ”, was made known. The aim of the funding measure is the formation of strategic clusters , which are supposed to bundle regional - but also supra-regional - competencies of companies, academies and actors in the financial sector within a certain subject area of industrial biotechnology . In this way, industrial biotechnology, and the associated bio-based industry, should be anchored in the regions, technology transfer should be promoted and Germany's competitiveness should be improved.

Building a bio-based industry

An important focus of the federal government's high-tech strategy is the research branch of industrial biotechnology, which is to be increasingly promoted as a future-oriented branch. For this reason, the cluster competition “BioIndustrie 2021” was launched in 2006 with the noble goal of establishing a bio-based industry by 2021. The five winners of the BMBF cluster competition are intended to help bring ideas and research results in the field of industrial biotechnology from scientific institutions into the market more quickly in the form of products or processes. To this end, the BMBF funded the five clusters with a total of 60 million euros until 2012/2013 and was thus able to mobilize a further approx. 100 million euros in financial resources from the economy.

Industrial biotechnology is viewed as the cross-sectional technology for a bio-based industry (also bioeconomy ). It should be numerous industries, such as B. the chemical, textile, paint and varnish, paper, food and animal feed industries as well as less integrated industries such as the automotive or aviation industry "biologize". In the future, more and more petro-based products and processes are to be gradually replaced by renewable raw materials and biotechnological processes (Cologne Declaration). However, especially the transfer of technologies from laboratory to industrial scale is fraught with unpredictable problems. Therefore, another necessary step on the way to a bio-based industry is the networking of institutions and disciplines, such as B. the natural, computer science and engineering sciences.

To this day, the combination of life and engineering sciences has resulted in a large number of products such as specialty chemicals, modern second-generation biofuels and food additives. In addition to large chemical groups such as Clariant , Henkel , and Evonik, there are already several hundred companies in Germany that are promoting the expansion of a bio-based industry themselves.

The five supported clusters are:

  • BIOKATALYSE2021 cluster in Hamburg
  • Biopolymers / Biomaterials Cluster in Stuttgart
  • Integrated Bio-Industry Cluster - CIB in Frankfurt
  • Industrial Biotechnology Cluster - CLIB2021 in Düsseldorf
  • IBB Netzwerk GmbH in Martinsried near Munich

In 2010 the five winning clusters were subjected to an interim evaluation, after which they could demonstrate good development progress.

BioIndustrie working group 2021

Towards the end of 2008, the five clusters joined forces in the “BioIndustrie 2021 working group”. In this way, the goals aimed at by the BMBF cluster competition are being pursued not only regionally, but also nationally under the BioIndustrie 2021 umbrella brand, and synergies between the partners are used to strengthen the entire industrial biotechnology sector.
