Scaling up Sustainable Biomaterials & Processes
INN-PRESSME is a cooperation of 27 partners from 9 countries supporting European SMEs and companies to develop bio-based solutions in the packaging, energy, transport, and consumer goods sectors.
Funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, the INN-PRESSME Open Innovation Test Bed is offering a wide range of services for feedstock conversion, materials development and upgrading with focus on nano-cellulose, bioplastics, and natural fibres.
Open Innovation Test Bed
An Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) is a set of entities providing common access to physical facilities, capabilities and services required for the development, testing and upscaling of nanotechnology and advanced materials in industrial environments.
INN-PRESME Open Innovation Test Bed is providing European companies with technical and market-oriented services such as eco-design and circular economy assessment, characterisation and nanosafety studies, support for funding, and product certification advice.
The core of the INN-PRESSME Open Innovation Test Bed are the 16 research and development pilot lines.

INN-PRESSME develops state of the art bio-based materials
The use of bio-based materials – made from biological sources, such as plants – as sustainable alternatives to fossil-based counterparts is growing in various industries, including packaging, transport, and consumer goods. These bio-based materials include both biodegradable and non-biodegradable polymers.
The bio-based polymers sector is continuously growing. Plants are an important bio-based feedstock and one of the main “factories” for technical materials.
Nano Materials
Nanomaterials describe materials of which a single small sized unit is between 1 and 100 nm, in at least one dimension.
Bio-Based Materials
The use of bio-based materials from biological sources as sustainable alternatives to fossil-based counterparts is growing in the packaging, transport, and consumer goods sectors.
End Materials
The project provides a network of pilots that cover the whole value chain ensuring access to scale-up projects.
Do you want to make your products more sustainable using nano-biomaterials? The digital platform is for SMEs and RTOs interested in the pilots and services of the INN-PRESSME project. Through this platform, you will be able to connect with tech experts and market players for your next project. The SINGLE ENTRY POINT (SEP) is available to help you in finding the right service for your needs.

Event Details
The European Bioplastics Conference is Europe’s leading business and discussion forum within the global bioplastics sector. More and more brands and manufacturers are embracing the potential of biopolymers, and policy makers are increasingly streamlining their efforts to create frameworks that benefit the growth of sustainable bio-industries. Now is the time to put bioplastics at the top of the agenda of a biobased circular economy in Europe and beyond.
The registration for the EBC 24 is now open and we are excited to welcome you on 10/11 December 2024 in Berlin or online.
The hybrid format of this year’s event will again allow you to join either in person at the Titanic Hotel Berlin or comfortably log-in from your home base. Both of which offer unique networking opportunities.
Of course, we will also have an excellent exhibition on- and offline. Just choose the right type of booth to give your company visibility at the conference.
As in the past years, we also invite proposals for poster presentations, giving researchers and new projects a stage to introduce their findings in the fields of biopolymer research, packaging, and building blocks. Sounds like a good opportunity? Then please, contact us with your proposal.
This year we are also offering different kinds of sponsorship options, so that you can engage even more with our event. If you would like to upgrade your visibility at our conference, please have a look at the possibilities and get in touch with our Event Manager, Denise Valdix. She will be happy to find the right package for you.
On 9th December from 17:00 until 20:00 CET, we will hold a side event on recycling approaches and technologies in collaboration with EU-funded projects in research and innovation.
Why attend?

16 State of the art Pilot-lines
The INN-PRESSME OITB is backed by a network of 16 Pilot-lines established across Europe (ES, FR, FL, SE, DE, PL) integrated in a complete development chain from feedstock conversion to processing of nano-enabled bio-bases materials.
The Pilot-Lines will be upgraded during the project with process monitoring and functionalities together with online quality control. All Pilot-Lines provide materials composition, behaviour or performance characterization support to SMEs.
