This article discusses the preparation, structure and objectives of the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). BBI JU is a public-private partnership (PPP) between the European Commission (EC) and the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), the industry-led private not-for-profit organisation representing the private sectors across the bio-based industries. The model of the public-private partnership has been successful as a new approach to supporting research and innovation and de-risking investment in Europe. The BBI JU became a reality in 2014 and represents the largest industrial and economic cooperation endeavour financially ever undertaken in Europe in the area of industrial biotechnologies. It is considered to be one of the most forward-looking initiatives under Horizon 2020 and demonstrates the circular economy in action. The BBI JU will be the catalyst for this strategy to mobilise actors across Europe including large industry, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), all types of research organisations, networks and universities. It will support regions and in doing so, the European Union Member States and associated countries in the implementation of their bioeconomy strategies.

生物基产业联合承诺：欧洲可持续生物基经济增长的催化剂

本文讨论了生物基产业联合企业（BBI JU）的准备、结构和目标。BBI JU 是欧盟委员会 (EC) 和生物基工业联盟 (BIC) 之间的公私合作伙伴关系 (PPP)，后者是代表生物基工业私营部门的行业主导的私营非营利组织. 公私合作模式作为一种支持欧洲研究和创新以及降低投资风险的新方法已取得成功。BBI JU 于 2014 年成为现实，代表了欧洲有史以来在工业生物技术领域进行的最大的工业和经济合作努力。它被认为是“地平线 2020”下最具前瞻性的举措之一，展示了循环经济的实际行动。BBI JU 将成为这一战略的催化剂，以动员整个欧洲的参与者，包括大型工业、中小型企业 (SME)、所有类型的研究组织、网络和大学。它将支持各地区以及欧盟成员国和相关国家实施其生物经济战略。
