OUR ECOSYSTEM
The State
Investing in the bioeconomy for the France of 2030
Decarbonisation of industry, development of biotechnologies, manufacturing of bio-based products and sustainable fuels, agricultural and food acceleration strategy… France is investing massively and conducting a proactive policy for the development of the bioeconomy!
B4C supports the government in the development and implementation of national bioeconomy strategies to create wealth and jobs.
An ambitious public policy
A bioeconomy strategy and action plan
In 2017, France adopted a strategy to structure the development of the bioeconomy for the next 20 years. It is the result of work carried out by the ministries in charge of agriculture, the environment, the economy and research, as well as contributions from all stakeholders (upstream and downstream economic players, public institutions, researchers, civil society, etc.). Becoming a world leader in the sector: this is the objective of the national strategy, which is set out in an action plan for operational deployment of the bioeconomy in France.
- Communicate the opportunities and raise awareness of the benefits of the bioeconomy
- Recognise the leading role of the bioeconomy in value creation in France
- Affirm a territorial vision of the bioeconomy that helps create local jobs
- Strengthen France’s attractiveness and make it the European leader in the bioeconomy
- Continue to support research and development
- Bridging the innovation gap between research and the market
- Develop consumer and industrial demand
B4C support:
Aligned with the national bioeconomy strategy, B4C is mobilising its expertise to drive the resulting action plan forward, through its involvement in the national steering committee. B4C is involved in the preparation of the 2nd national action plan and has carried out a mission for the Ministry of Agriculture to collect and analyse the priorities of national bioeconomy stakeholders.
In the wake of France Relance, France 2030
In 2020, when the France Relance plan was presented, the State showed its determination to invest exceptionally and massively in the bioeconomy sectors. Three acceleration strategies, at the heart of the 4th “Programme d’Investissements d’Avenir” (PIA4), have been launched for a total of €1.3 billion:
- €880m benefits the “Sustainable agricultural systems and agricultural equipment contributing to the ecological transition” and “Sustainable and health-friendly food” acceleration strategies
- 420 million to the “Bio-based products and industrial biotechnologies – Sustainable fuels” strategy
Announced in October 2021 and endowed with €30 billion, the France 2030 plan pursues the Government’s strategy in favour of investment, innovation and reindustrialisation. Its main feature is to target resources on strategic sectors in terms of technology and sovereignty.
- .3 billion euros for agricultural and food transitions, to invest in future solutions in order to accelerate the deployment of the 3rdagricultural revolution, that of life and knowledge in the service of our food sovereignty
