Founded in 2012, the BioEcnomy Cluster was among the winners of the Leading-Edge Cluster Competition of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

From 2012 to 2017, a total of 80 million euros (50% of which was contributed by industry) was invested in research into the bioeconomy as part of the Leading-Edge Cluster funding programme. Intensive work was carried out in 45 collaborative projects with approximately 150 subprojects.

The BioEconomy Cluster initiates, coordinates and accompanies diverse R&D&I projects from funding programmes such as KMU NETC, ZIM, new products of the bioeconomy or HORIZON 2020/ BBI.
