Deployment group on finance and investments

The focus of this deployment group is to pave the way for a new and more favourable funding landscape for the European bio-based sector by 2030. The group’s vision is to mobilise capital, create better funding opportunities and offer solutions ready for the market and industrial production. In order to do that, different investment sources available in Europe for projects with higher technology readiness level (TRL) and commercial scale deployment should be grouped and efficiently mobilised. 

The CBE JU is making progress towards the establishment of the deployment group. A concept note sets out the scope, objectives, tasks, and establishment steps of this group. 

In preparation for the establishment of this deployment group, the European Investment Bank (EIB) has launched a study to map the specific investment needs of the bio-based sector and to identify relevant stakeholders interested to participate in the deployment group. The completion of the study is planned for September 2024.
