Bioökonomie Verstehen. Verbinden. Unterstützen.Professional support for the technological research projects is provided by the BMBF-funded project Bioökonomie Verstehen. Verbinden. Unterstützen (Bioökonomie-VVU). Bioökonomie-VVU supports structural change in the Rhenish mining area in parallel with innovation.
To this end, complementary actors around the innovation field of bioeconomy are to be brought together in the Rhenish mining area, so that concrete value propositions and solutions emerge through the use of open innovation processes. A special focus of the project funded by the BMBF is on researching the innovation ecosystems around the BioökonomieREVIER innovation cluster and the Bio4MatPro competence center.
The Bioökonomie-VVU project is planned for a period of five years, until the end of 2026, and comprises, on the one hand, accompanying research by a consortium of scientific institutes from RWTH Aachen University and TU Dortmund University, and on the other hand, a management office jointly operated by the Institute for Technology and Innovation Management (TIM) at RWTH Aachen University and the Institute for Plant Sciences (IBG-2) at Forschungszentrum Jülich.
Goals of the Accompanying Research
The overarching goal of the accompanying research is to systematize and utilize findings and experiences in the model region in order to better understand regional innovation ecosystems with their specific challenges and success factors, and to ensure the successful development of the Bioökonomie model region. The content-related accompanying research consists of complementary work packages within which a wide variety of subject areas are researched using an interdisciplinary mix of methods.
Overall, the accompanying research will continuously support the interaction of actors in the model regions and the transfer of new knowledge, develop the regional value proposition, support start-up and settlement activities in the region, strengthen acceptance and perception among citizens with innovative communication and participation concepts, and investigate the regional and ecological impacts of such a transformation. Bioökonomie-VVU aims to make the knowledge generated here and the insights gained usable beyond the existing funding phase for funding programs and for projects – also in other regions – in the long term.
