📣 Introducing the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), an EU Innovation Action here to help you scale up your process and leap over those pesky TRL 7 bars! 🏃♀️ You'll get access to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant right here in the heart of Ghent, #TechCapital – a state-of-the-art facility that'll make your biobased dreams a reality. Expect to: 🌍Produce the first 100 kg for application testing and field trials (because who doesn't love a real-world trial run)  📈Get process scale-up to 1500 l and more (because bigger is always better when it comes to innovation) 🏭Demonstrate your process in an industrial environment (because that's where the magic happens) 📊Confirm technical and economic viability (because, at the end of the day, we all want our business ideas to be profitable) So, what are you waiting for? It's time to take your biobased solutions to new heights and show everyone what you're made of. Reach out to Tanja Meyer or drop the project team an email (check the comments). #GhentTechies #biotech
