CTA (Technological Corporation of Andalusia) has launched an online map to identify relevant actors that contribute to the deployment of the bioeconomy in Andalusia . 20 research groups and 15 companies are already part of this map, which is still under construction and open to Andalusian entities that provide specialized services in this field.
The objective of the map is to identify, coordinate and give visibility to the regional capacities for research and provision of innovation services specialized in bioeconomy , to build value chains and generate a market for 'bioproducts' in Andalusia.
This activity is part of the ATRESBIO project , led by CTA and financed by the Department of Economic Transformation, Industry, Knowledge and Universities of the Government of Andalusia with FEDER funds from the European Union (EU), and in line with the Andalusian Strategy of Circular Bioeconomy.
The bioeconomy in the olive grove, horticulture and algal biomass sector
ATRESBIO seeks to build and consolidate value chains for obtaining bioproducts derived from by-products (remains) of the olive grove, horticulture and algal biomass (from algae). The project will develop an action plan for the deployment of the bioeconomy and a technological surveillance system. In this way, it aims to maximize the competitiveness and sustainability of the Andalusian industrial fabric , facilitating economic growth and job creation. The project has the collaboration of three subcontracted research groups from the universities of Jaén, Granada and Almería.
