Bioceb includes different socio-economic networks, to ensure that bioeconomy main industrial actors (SMEs and multinationals) are associated with the project.

The selected associated partners are actors of innovation with international visibility in the bioeconomy field. They are involved in multidisciplinary activities combining chemistry and biotechnology for the conversion of biomass. They include regional clusters representative of socio-economic local networks as well as several companies (SME or multinationals), research organisations, and internationally-renowned universities, building thus a balanced network supporting Bioceb needs: promotion and recruitment of excellent students from all over the world; guest lectures contributing to academic excellence and socio-economic connection of Bioceb; access to infrastructures and site visits; contribution to employability, notably through internships and master's thesis offers. Their distribution at the international scale ensures to cover world regions with different bioeconomy models and develop the global vision of the students.
