Call for bio-based or circular innovations

BioVoice Open Innovation Challenges

PNO is involved in the BioVoice Open Innovation Challenges programme as a scout of parties who can offer a solution for nine circular and bio-based innovation challenges. We are looking for companies with innovative solutions in the form of a product, process or technology. The best match receives a voucher of 20,000 euros, comes into contact with large industrial parties and is given the opportunity to realise the solution.

The challenges

To help you determine whether this is of interest to you, we place the list of challenges below, and the companies that have submitted them:

1. How can we ecologically prevent the macro pollution (mussels and oysters) in our seawater cooling system? (DOW)
2. How can we reduce chromium levels in salt/brine? (DOW)
3. Which Industrial applications are there for wheat protein? (Cargill)
4. Phosphate recovery from a semi-dry wheat product stream (Cargill)
5. Who has a biobased alternative for the raw material of our design flower pots? (CAPI Europe)
6. A sustainable application for hydrogen that will ultimately yield more than burning it as an alternative to natural gas (SABIC)
