Business Finland has granted a total of 10 million euros in R&D funding to two Finnish projects for international research collaboration in the bioeconomy sector. The projects have been accepted into the Global Centers research program, led by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and operated by six countries, with the goal of achieving breakthrough solutions to global challenges.
This year, the program's funding call focused on the bioeconomy, with the main themes being biofoundries and biodiversity. The FinBioFab and FoodID projects are coordinated by VTT.
