One of the main aims of Horizon 2020, the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation covering the period 2014-2020, is to strengthen European industry through actions supporting research and innovation across a range of industrial sectors. In particular, it provides for the creation of public-private partnerships that will contribute to tackling some of the key challenges Europe is facing. Bio-based industries in the EU could make a significant contribution to the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy, and its flagship initiatives "Innovation Union", "A Resource Efficient Europe" and "An Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era". This has been recognised in several recent EU policy initiatives, such as the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability, the Smart Specialisation Strategy for Member States and Regions and the proposal for the 7th Environmental Action Programme. The Communication outlining the European Bioeconomy Strategy, adopted on 13 February 2012, proposes the creation of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for bio-based industries (Bio-based PPP) as part of its Action Plan. The Commission Communication promoting a stronger European industry for growth and economic recovery reiterates the importance of setting up a Bio-based PPP in the form of a Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) in the context of the EU's industrial policy, which is also in line with the Commission Communication "Public-private partnerships, in Horizon 2020: a powerful tool to deliver on innovation and growth in Europe". |
