Innovation vouchers available to boost your bio-based breakthroughs

Are you working on bio-based innovations and looking for support to bring them to life? The BIO-CAPPP project has exciting news for SMEs in the Zeeland-Brabant-Limburg-Flanders region!

Biorizon co-initiator TNO, in collaboration with Avans/MNEXT and Centexbel, is proud to introduce a new generation of furfural-derived biobased plasticizers. Developed through an agile approach under the Interreg BIO-CAPPP project, these innovative plasticizers have already shown promising results in textile coating and bioplastic applications.

What’s in it for you?

If you're looking to explore biobased building blocks (from sugars or lignin) or need support in application development—from feasibility studies to pilot-scale prototypes—this is your chance to collaborate and accelerate your innovation.

Through the BIO-CAPPP innovation vouchers, SMEs can benefit from:

Joint development projects with TNO
Expertise from leading partners in bio-aromatics and biobased materials
Financial support that multiplies your in-kind and cash contributions

Why join?

This is more than just funding—it's a chance to be part of a cross-border collaboration between Flanders and the Netherlands, led by VITO and TNO, who have been pioneering bio-aromatics since 2013 under the Shared Research Center Biorizon.

Whether you're interested in surfactants, plasticizers, or polyester building blocks, we invite you to co-develop and validate these sustainable solutions in your applications.
