Catalonia’s Bioeconomy Hub

BIOHUBCAT is the one-stop shop dedicated to generating economic value from renewable organic resources in Catalonia. It is a place where companies and entrepreneurs can find the solutions they need to take the next step.

BIOHUBCAT connects and promotes public and private infrastructures, capacities and services to facilitate project execution. It also promotes initiatives to cover the gaps in this global map of innovation services.

Do you have an organic by-product to evaluate? A technology that needs to mature? Need raw material for your process? Questions about regulation? If the answer is yes, BIOHUBCAT can help.
