AlpBioEco: Lego Serious Play Workshops about eco-innovative business models

AlpBioEco: Lego Serious Play Workshops about eco-innovative business models

Posted on by Anna Bäuerle

The EU-Interreg project AlpBioEco aims to exploit untapped bioeconomic potentials in value chains of plant extracts and food trough eco-innovation. In the project, several eco-innovative business model concepts were developed by the project team in collaboration with local stakeholders, which were then tested and verified. Now, in the final phase of the project, all the results are brought together in several policy implementation guidelines. These guidelines support the implementation of several eco-innovative business models in selected regions and show possibilities to improve the framework conditions for eco-innovation in the region. In addition, the guidelines enable the transfer of the practical outcomes to other regions within the Alpine Space and beyond. For the development of the guidelines and the promotion of the implementation of the business models in the regions, AlpBioEco has set up ten so-called “Regional Advisory Boards”. Those “Regional Advisory Boards” comprise up to ten local experts, such as political decision makers, local entrepreneurs, farmers, innovation experts and academics, bringing together various experiences and in-depth knowledge. With their expertise, the Policy Implementation Guidelines are developed. To reach all the possible potential in the “Regional Advisory Boards”, AlpBioEco decided to use a creative approach: the design thinking tool called LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. This is an agile approach to solve challenges by using people’s collective insights and by addressing the challenges dynamically. For improving the AlpBioEco project, every member of the “Regional Advisory Board” is going to build – as the name implies from lego bricks – the current situation and status quo of the business model from his own point of view. Thereby, the workshop generates a 360°C all-round view of the status quo of the region by experts from various areas and sectors. The results of the workshops will contribute to the final “Regional Implementation Guidelines” set up by AlpBioEco.

As there are several “Regional Advisory Boards”, which focus on one business model in one region, there are also several dates for the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshops, starting with 22 October 2020.

AlpBioEco Regional Advisory Board Workshop

AlpBioEco Regional Advisory Board Workshop

Posted on by Anna Bäuerle

The EU-Interreg project AlpBioEco works on bio-based products along the food value chain in the Alpine Space, promoting bioeconomy and sustainable regional development through eco-innovative business models. Within the project, several innovative business model blueprints were developed and tested. In this process, value chains were analysed, product prototypes developed and tested, and possibilities for the implementation of the business models in different regions were evaluated. Now, in the final phase of the AlpBioEco project, all those information and project results will be transferred into implementation and policy guidelines. These guidelines will promote the implementation of selected eco-innovative business models in different regions, but also allow the transfer to of the outcomes of the project to other projects and regions in the Alpine Space. To develop these policy and implementation guidelines, AlpBioEco’s project partners work with small “Regional Advisory Boards”, that consist of local stakeholders and experts, and focus on one business model in each region. The members of the Regional Advisory Board will add their own experiences and knowledge and thus contribute to more in-depth regional guidelines.

On Monday, 12th October 2020, the Regional Advisory Board workshop of AlpBioEco’s lead project partner City of Sigmaringen will take place online. The Regional Advisory Board will work on a business model to promote the marketing and commercial use of regional walnuts in the South of Germany.

AlpBioEco Walnut Excursion to Malans & Frümsen, Switzerland

AlpBioEco Walnut Excursion to Malans & Frümsen, Switzerland

Posted on by Anna Bäuerle

On Friday, 2nd October 2020, AlpBioEco organises a walnut excursion to Switzerland together with the project partner “BUND (Friends of the Earth Germany) Regionalverbund Ravensburg Oberschwaben”. The excursion starts with a visit to the Competence Centre in Malans, where participants learn from the walnut producer Johannes Janggen from Malans about the processing of walnuts. In the following, there will be a visit to the “Nussdorf Frümsen” with Hans Oppliger, president of the “Nussdorf Frümsen” association. Here, participants will see not only different walnut products, but Hans Oppliger will also show for instance the walnut tree as the figurehead of the village, or talk about the walnut tree in architecture and art. Furthermore, there will be a short hiking trail along the future Frümsner Baumnussweg with 10 themes. AlpBioEco is looking forward to an interesting excursion!

Bioeconomy in local value chains – A key aspect of a more sustainable bioeconomy

Bioeconomy in local value chains – A key aspect of a more sustainable bioeconomy

Bioeconomy in local value chains –

A key aspect of a more sustainable bioeconomy

3 July 2019, 12:30 – 18:00
Sigmaringen, Germany

Are you eager to know more about the important role that the creation of new, local value chains based on renewable raw materials has on local bioeconomies? Then be sure to join this interactive workshop and product show on 3 July 2019 in Sigmaringen.

As part of the BioVoices project, ICLEI Europe, together with the city of Sigmaringen (Germany), who is coordinating the AlpBioEco project, will bring together key German and European stakeholders from academia, civil society, business and public policy to discuss multi-perspective solutions, ideas and public policy recommendations regarding current challenges for the bioeconomy in Germany.

The event aims to facilitate the exchange of best practices on topics including: the creation of new value chains related to bio-waste, garden waste, crop residues, maritime materials and/or insect protein; new green and innovative public procurement initiatives; and more. The agenda also covers topics like the promotion of a modified regulatory framework that promotes the creation of value chains from raw material production to sourcing, certification and sale processes.

A product show is being featured in the event. Interested exhibitors of bio-based products, projects and services can contact Ms. Alexandra Pfohl (alexandra.pfohl@iclei.org) for more information on exhibition opportunities.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe KollegInnen,

im Rahmen des AlpBioEco und des BioVoices Projektes organisieren wir am 3. Juli 2019 zusammen einen Workshop zum Thema: Bioökonomie lokal – Schaffung neuer, lokaler Wertschöpfungsketten basierend auf erneuerbaren Rohstoffen.

 

Der Workshop richtet sich hautpsächlich an Akteure aus Wirtschaft, Politik, Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft. Das Ziel des Events ist multi-perspektivische Lösungsansatze, (Projekt-) Ideen und Politikempfehlungen zu derzeitigen Herausforderungen für die Bioökonomie in Deutschland zu diskutieren.

 

Im Besonderen, wird der Workshop einen Austausch zu guten Beispielen hinsichtlich der Schaffung neuer Wertschöpfungsketten, etwa aus Biomüll, Gartenabfällen, Produktionsrückständen oder höherwertige Weiterverarbeitung von Reststoffen – auch durch grüne und innovative öffentliche Beschaffungsinitiativen, ermöglichen sowie wesentliche Elemente eines veränderten regulativen Rahmens zur Förderung solcher Wertschöpfungsketten – von der Rohstoffproduktion-/beschaffung über Zertifizierung bis hin zum Verkauf identifizieren.

 

Als Teil des Workshops ist eine Produktschau geplant, um Beispiele kennenzulernen und Innovationen bekannt zu machen. Interessierte Aussteller biobasierter Produkte, Projekte oder Services können sich für nähere Informationen zu Ausstellungsmöglichkeiten an alexandra.pfohl@iclei.org wenden.

 

Wenn Sie Lust haben mit zu diskutieren, registrieren Sie sich kostenlos hier
Die vorläufige Agenda finden Sie im Anhang.

 

 

Weitere Informationen und regelmäßige Updates zu diesem und anderen Events, finden Sie hier.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihr Kommen.
