Five years following the publication of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, this article discusses the state of play of the bioeconomy in Europe. Placing specific focus on Industrial Biotech, it outlines ten pragmatic recommendations from BIO-TIC [BIO-TIC, A roadmap to a thriving industrial biotechnology sector in Europe, 2015], an EU FP7 funded project completed in 2015 and coordinated by EuropaBio, comprehensively examining the hurdles to the development of a bioeconomy in Europe, enabled by industrial biotech. These include improving opportunities for feedstock producers within the bioeconomy; investigating the scope for using novel biomass; developing a workforce which can maintain Europe's competitiveness in industrial biotechnology; introducing a long-term, stable and transparent policy and incentive framework to promote the bioeconomy; improving public perception and awareness of industrial biotechnology and bio-based products; identifying, leveraging and building upon EU capabilities for pilot and demonstration facilities; promoting the use of co-products from processing; improving the bioconversion and downstream processing steps; improving access to financing for large-scale biorefinery projects; developing stronger relationships between conventional and non-conventional players.

目的地生物经济——通往更智能、更可持续的未来之路

欧盟生物经济战略发布五年后，本文讨论了欧洲生物经济的发展状况。它特别关注工业生物技术，概述了 BIO-TIC [BIO-TIC，欧洲蓬勃发展的工业生物技术部门的路线图，2015] 的十项务实建议，这是一个于 2015 年完成并由 EuropaBio 协调的欧盟 FP7 资助项目，全面审查工业生物技术支持欧洲生物经济发展的障碍。这些包括改善生物经济中原料生产商的机会；调查使用新型生物质的范围；培养能够保持欧洲在工业生物技术方面竞争力的劳动力；引入长期、稳定和透明的政策和激励框架来促进生物经济；提高公众对工业生物技术和生物基产品的认知和认识；确定、利用和建立欧盟的试点和示范设施能力；促进使用加工副产品；改进生物转化和下游加工步骤；改善大型生物精炼项目的融资渠道；在传统和非常规参与者之间建立更牢固的关系。
