BioInc – Biotech incubator for bio-business development and clean production of green chemical intermediates in Cali, Colombia

The short-term goal of the project carried out by TNO, together with partners Applikon Biotechnology B.V., Everest Energy B.V., GMSP B.V. Sustainability, Universidad ICESI and Nijhuis Industries Holding B.V. is to develop, in close collaboration with relevant stakeholders, shared visions and committed actions and substantiated plans to set up a technically, commercially and financially viable public private partnership for a biotech incubator in (or near) Cali, Colombia. The outcome of the project should clearly demonstrate a commitment from a range of important stakeholders in industry, knowledge institutes, local authorities, financiers and possibly individual entrepreneurs to support the set up and ongoing operations of the biotech incubator for a long-term period, i.e. 15 to 20 years.

The proposed project will address and elaborate the conditions that need to be met in order to make sure that the biomass to biobased materials and chemicals conversion infrastructure envisaged by all consortium partners can actually be built, operated and maintained. There are emerging opportunities to transform residual biomass from several industrial grown crops in clean processes and use them for energy and for more valuable biobased applications. Biobusiness development in Colombia is considered key for social-economic development, now and in a post-conflict era, given its importance for food and non-food.
