    Goals / Remit

    BLC3 was founded in 2010 as a non-profit organisation. Its mission is to encourage environmental, social and economic growth of inner rural regions, through innovative business initiatives.
    The organisation aims to develop and apply technical-scientific knowledge to problems and opportunities related to territory exploitation helping in the creation of new businesses, based on regional bioeconomy. To achieve this, BLC3 develops market-oriented R&D projects, based on scientific areas such as bioeconomy (leads a consortium of five European countries for the development of “bioregions” and bioeconomy from five different regions), biotechnology (developing 2nd and 3rd generation biorefineries energetically self-sufficient), sustainability (developing new criteria and systems for the sustainable use of the territory, based on sustainable life cycle assessments), mycology (with the Centre of Applied Mycology), and also areas dedicated to the mitigation of forest fires and advanced technologies to treat and valorise wastewaters/effluents.
    BLC3 possess an infrastructure of around 4 ha and access to a network of researchers (55 R&D entities from nine European countries), supporting the transfer of knowledge and technology between higher education institutions and industry in a targeted and results-oriented manner. BLC3 partners include Coimbra University, Minho University, the Portuguese National Laboratory for Energy and Geology (LNEG), Superior School of Technology and Management of Oliveira do Hospital, the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, the Institute of Experimental Biology and Technology, Biotechnology Innovation Centre and Instituto de Catálisis y Petroleoquímica from Spain.
    Through professionally-run R&D and network activities, BLC3 provides solutions for business-specific needs, helping to transform the Centre Inner Region of Portugal in an area of national excellence regarding the field of sustainable development, as well as improving the local populations' quality of life and promoting the sustainable use of the region territory.
