Module 2. CBE support measures – the national authority’s management mechanisms. CBE business case (BC) studies in the Baltic Sea region (good practice examples).
Knowledge and information:
Participants demonstrate a conceptual knowledge and understanding of the analysis of support measures in production and supply chain processes in CBE business.
Benefits and skills:
Independently apply the theoretical aspects of support measures and management mechanisms to make decisions on the innovative development of bioeconomy sector companies.
Training resources:
National authority’s management mechanisms for the development of sustainable circular bioeconomy are introduced in Chapter 2.1 of “Report on good practice implementation guidelines for circular bioeconomy development and a training programme targeted at regional/local public authorities in the BSR”. To enable analysis of management instruments (laws, strategies, programmes, etc.) that countries in the BSR use, “Catalogue of measures for developing regional or local circular bioeconomy” is developed.
Our project identified five areas of good practice in promoting the development of more sustainable and innovative local bio-based businesses:
• Organisational development for inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional cooperation (examples of businesses that benefitted from such practice: oceanBASIS – Germany, Greve Biogass – Norway);
• Funding schemes that regional/local public authorities launch for effective support of circular bioeconomy development (examples of businesses that benefitted from such practice: Ziedi JP – Latvia, Est-Agar – Estonia);
• Knowledge and technology transfer, including R&D services and consultation schemes, business incubators and other innovation support structures, study and training programmes (examples of businesses that benefitted from such practice: Aloja Starkelsen – Latvia);
• Cross-border cooperation for knowledge and technology transfer, attraction of FDI (examples of businesses that benefitted from such practice: Pageldynių plantacija – Lithuania);
• Awareness raising with labelling, certification and campaigns to promote green products and recycling schemes, image improvement of agriculture and other bioeconomy businesses (examples of businesses that benefitted from such practice: Wapnö Farm – Sweden, oceanBASIS – Germany).
In Chapter 3 of “Report on good practice implementation guidelines for circular bioeconomy development and a training programme targeted at regional/local public authorities in the BSR”, analysis of these practices and examples is provided.
Library of all good practice bio-based business cases is available in e-Tools section “Explore good practice bio-based business models and real-life inspiring examples”.
