BIOMAC will establish an Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) Ecosystem providing open access to SMEs or Industry to a single-entry point. Starting from the utilization of biomass sources followed by the production of biobased nanoparticles and different building blocks the ecosystem produces biopolymers for the strategic sectors of Food Packaging, Construction, Automotive and Printed Electronics which consist a high market share. A self-sustainable open innovation ecosystem for the upscaling of processes across the supply and value chain is intended to be created in order fill this gap, in which AIMEN is leading a 3Dprinting pilot plant. BIOMAC intends to overcome the “valley of death” related to lack of commercialization of nanobased solutions (due to the lack of investment, funding for further development, upscaling and the limited willingness of end users to adopt nanomaterials into their processes). The OITB will offer services that cover the assessment of regulation & safety, sustainability, circularity and market potential among with modeling, process control, standardization and characterization, accessible at fair conditions and cost. BIOMAC establishes a community of open collaboration for stakeholders and customers enabling innovation and minimization of investment risks, by offering an open innovation ecosystem, in which technologies that have been developed up to TRL4-5 will be able to be upscaled and validated up to TRL 7.
