What is SYMBIO?
Powered by big data and artificial intelligence, SYMBIO shapes symbiotic business models with high profitability and sustainability replicable at the EU level to increase the market for bio-based products and provide a system to model, measure, and monitor symbiosis and its social, economic, and environmental impacts.
SYMBIO is a three-year funded project by the European Commission Horizon Europe programme in the context of the Symbiosis in the bio-based industrial ecosystems Call (Grant Agreement No 101135166).
How does it work?
The SYMBIO methodology is designed and validated in 12 pilot regions of 6 EU countries (Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Spain, Belgium) where industrial symbiosis is key to increasing the economic value of final products through resource sharing and zero-waste production models.
The SYMBIO methodology is structured in four phases:
Why participate
