Speaker:

The Bio-based Innovation Student Challenge Europe (BISC-E) is a Europe-wide student competition to stimulate entrepreneurship and award excellence. The programme offers student teams opportunities to practice entrepreneurship by addressing relevant technological, environmental, or societal challenges with innovative bio-based solutions.

BISC-E seeks to raise awareness and involve students in the transition towards a bio-based economy. A key objective of the BISC-E programme is to stimulate and support entrepreneurship in curricula at universities. In the near future we plan to extend this programme to include vocational education level students.

The (BIC) has adopted BISC-E and provides a central role in mobilising and monitoring country participation through national BISC-E competions. BIC does so by nominating BISC-E National Coordinators in each country in Europe, who are organising and implementing the national BISC-Es. The (ICA) will assist BIC during BISC-E 2024 to connect countries so far absent in BISC-E.
