Innovationscluster BioökonomieREVIERInnovation Labs for rapid, practical implementation of science into the economy
An important element of the BioökonomieREVIER Rheinland model region are 14 so-called “Innovation Labs”. These are promising research approaches with very good economic implementation potential. All of them are intended to contribute in different ways to the transformation of the Rhenish region from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy in industry and agriculture.
The innovation labs are networked with each other and thematically bundled into three clusters:
Innovative Agriculture
Biotechnology & Plastics Industry, and
Integrated Biorefinery.
The findings are intended to quickly generate added value and new, novel jobs. This is about much more than “just” scientific knowledge gain. Rather, it is intended to demonstrate by example that closer integration and knowledge transfer from research into the economy can lead to greater added value and sustainability. Because after the end of fossil fuels, the Rhenish region is intended to be permanently future-proof and attractive for people.
In the interdisciplinary research consortium of the “Innovation Labs” of BioökonomieREVIER, regional universities and research institutions are committed to the BioökonomieREVIER Rheinland model region. With institutes from RWTH and Aachen University of Applied Sciences, the Jülich Research Centre, and the Fraunhofer Society, both applied and basic research are represented, as well as further companies from the Rhenish region such as SenseUp Biotechnology GmbH and YNCORIS GmbH & Co. KG.
The innovation labs are funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the “Structural Change” immediate action program and are supported by the BioökonomieREVIER coordination office.
