}Introduction
The EU bioeconomy generated €863 billion in added value in 2023 (5% of GDP) and employed 17.1 million people (Joint Research Centre 2025; CEPI 2025). These figures are no accident: behind them lies a sophisticated ecosystem of platforms, monitoring systems, and financing instruments that enable evidence-based decision-making. Colombia, a megadiverse country with more than 63,000 species registered in the SiB and a growing portfolio of bioproducts, faces a structural challenge: information about its bioeconomy is scattered, fragmented across institutions and lacking an integrated monitoring system (Organización Internacional del Trabajo 2022).
This post analyzes how Europe has addressed this problem through three types of platforms, and proposes a reference framework for Colombia to build its own bioeconomy information hub.

The Concentric Layers Model: Three Levels of Complementary Information
When studying the European experience, an organizational pattern emerges — not a flat list of platforms, but a system of concentric layers with different levels of complexity, data needs, indicators, and actors. Each layer fulfills a differentiated function but complements the others to form a coherent ecosystem.
The outer layer — monitoring — is the broadest: it requires aggregated data, macro indicators, and long-term time series. The middle layer — acceleration — operates with a logic of financing, project evaluation, and impact metrics. The inner layer — knowledge — generates the tools, methodologies, and networks that feed the two outer layers. The three layers are not homogeneous: they differ in temporality, data granularity, and actor types, but each needs the others to function (Robert et al. 2020; Giuntoli et al. 2020).
This diagram represents a logic of mutual dependence. Without the knowledge tools and networks (inner layer), there are no projects to finance (middle layer). Without financed and scaled projects, there are no impact metrics to monitor (outer layer). And without monitoring, there is no evidence to justify new investments.
Layer 1: Platforms that Monitor the Bioeconomy
The EU Bioeconomy Monitoring System (BMS)
The EU Bioeconomy Monitoring System is the centerpiece of European bioeconomy monitoring. Launched in November 2020 at the Global Bioeconomy Summit, it is a direct action of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy 2018 (Action 3.3.2). The system is led by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), operated within the Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy (KCB), and continuously improved — the most recent version incorporates social and trade indicators (Giuntoli et al. 2020; Kilsedar et al. 2021, 2023; Patani et al. 2024).
Conceptual framework: four hierarchical levels
The BMS organizes information through a four-level conceptual framework that disaggregates the multidimensional complexity of the bioeconomy (Robert et al. 2020):
Level 1
EU Strategic Objectives

(measurable data with sources)
Indicators can be navigated through three complementary routes: the 5 Objectives of the Bioeconomy Strategy, the SDGs, or the priorities of the European Green Deal. A selection of key indicators is presented as Headline Indicators on the dashboard’s main page.
Data governance model
The BMS’s strength lies in its multi-actor governance model for data acquisition and processing (Robert et al. 2020; Patani et al. 2024):
Coordination
Joint Research Centre (JRC) – Ispra, Italy. Leads design, technical development, and indicator updates. Partially funded by DG RTD.
Primary data
Eurostat is the main source (via API servers with Python scripts). Other sources: FAO, Copernicus, EEA, JRC surveys, and the Biomass Mandate.
Co-design
Community of Practice (CoP): Experts from Member States, academia, and international organizations participate in design and validation workshops.
Processing
Python 3 (OOP + functional) on JRC's internal Bitbucket. Pipeline: download → gap-filling → aggregation → CSV standardization → XLSX → dashboard database.
Publication
Interactive dashboard on the KCB (knowledge4policy.ec.europa.eu). Interactive SVGs, multilevel filters, bulk data download with metadata.
Data: BMS evolution
Since its launch in 2020 with 19 indicators, the BMS grew to 35 by 2022. In 2023, 13 were removed due to lack of updated data, demonstrating that available statistical quality directly conditions the scope of monitoring.
| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Normative criteria coverage | 67% | JRC Report 2022 |
| Key components coverage | 52% | JRC Report 2022 |
| Annual indicator update rate | ~64% | JRC Report 2023 |
| Primary data source | Eurostat (via API) | JRC |
| Backend technology | Python 3 + Bitbucket | JRC |
Other monitoring platforms include the EU Food Systems Monitoring Dashboard (JRC), the Biomass Flows platform, BIOMONITOR with bioeconomy sector shares, and BioRegEU with regional-level data (Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy 2024).
Layer 2: Platforms that Accelerate the Bioeconomy
Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU)
The CBE JU is a €2,000 million public-private partnership between the EU and the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), operating under Horizon Europe for 2021–2031. Its predecessor, the BBI JU (2014–2020), mobilized €3,700 million and achieved a private leverage of €2.8 for every €1 of public money (CBE JU 2024c, 2022).
Funding process flow
CBE JU funding follows a structured chain: from joint strategic planning between the European Commission and the private sector, to competitive project selection across four action types according to their technological readiness level (TRL).

CBE JU budget and results
The CBE JU annual budget has ranged from €120M (2022) to €215M (2023), accumulating by that year 161 selected projects with 1,550 beneficiaries across 43 countries.
| Year | Budget | Topics | Proposals | Selected | Beneficiaries | Countries |

Other acceleration instruments include the European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF) for late-stage startups, the LIFE programme, and the EFSI with high-risk investment guarantees (European Commission, DG RTD 2020).
Layer 3: Platforms that Generate Knowledge
A. Tools for bioeconomy development
The Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy (KCB), launched in 2017 by the JRC and DG RTD, is the EU’s central knowledge hub: a curated library, data catalogue, thematic sector pages, Life Cycle Assessment tools, and the BMS itself (biooekonomie.de 2017). The BIOEAST Knowledge Platform serves Central and Eastern Europe with a multilingual library, and BOOST4BIOEAST developed indicator frameworks with 29 competency indicators and 35 biomass potential indicators (BIOEAST Initiative 2024a, 2024b).
The POWER4BIO project (H2020, €3M, 2018–2021) developed a three-step methodology (engagement → regional analysis → strategy development) and a searchable catalogue of bio-based solutions across 10 regions in 9 countries (CIRCE and consortium 2021). MainstreamBIO established 7 Multi-actor Innovation Platforms (MIPs) in rural regions with an integrating digital toolkit (MainstreamBIO consortium 2024).
B. Actor networks
The European Bioeconomy Network (EuBioNet) is an alliance of more than 60 EU-funded projects dedicated to bioeconomy promotion (EuBioNet 2024). The European Bioeconomy Policy Forum (EBPF), launched in 2020, operates at the high (political) and expert (technical) levels (European Commission, DG RTD 2020). The HOOP Circular Urban Bioeconomy Hub combines a virtual academy with an indicator-based Circularity Label (HOOP consortium 2024). And the HORIZON-CL6-2025-GOVERNANCE-06 call explicitly seeks a pan-European platform (one-stop shop), recognizing persistent barriers in understanding and participation formats in bioeconomy (European Commission 2025a).
Colombia: Where Do We Stand in Each Layer?
Colombia does not start from scratch. In each of the three layers, concrete institutional progress exists, but so do critical gaps.
🟢 Layer 1 – Monitoring: The National Bioeconomy Observatory (DNP)
The National Planning Department (DNP), through its Environmental Management Sub-directorate, leads the development of the National Bioeconomy Observatory (ONB). This is Colombia’s most concrete commitment to centralizing bioeconomy information at the macro level (IICA Colombia 2025).
The ONB is being built from the regions — in 2025, workshops were held in Barranquilla with support from GGGI — and operates within the Interinstitutional Bioeconomy Coordination Mechanism, involving multiple ministries (Commerce, Science, Agriculture, Environment, Mines and Energy), DANE, iNNpulsa, Colombia Productiva, and ProColombia (Portafolio 2024).
In parallel, the IDB finances technical cooperation CO-T1800 to: (i) design and implement a Bioeconomy Business Survey (EEB), (ii) strengthen the ONB, and (iii) create coordination spaces among the SNCTI, SEN, SNCI, and SINA systems (Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo 2024). The platform already features an ArcGIS hub for geospatial data visualization (DNP / IGAC 2024).
🟡 Layer 2 – Acceleration: Fragmented instruments without a structural consortium
Colombia has several bioeconomy financing mechanisms but operates without a dedicated public-private consortium like the European CBE JU. Existing instruments include:
MAPBIO (Bioeconomy Project Acceleration Mechanism): Driven by Minciencias, GGGI, and iNNpulsa, funded by UK PACT. Three editions (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) plus MAPBIO+. The first two versions accelerated 14 bioproducts, mobilizing more than USD $465,000. Version 3.0 (2023) focused on the Pacific and Amazonia regions with up to USD $35,000 per project (Minciencias 2023; GGGI 2024).
Minciencias Call 903: Specifically oriented toward the Bioeconomy Mission, it seeks R&D&I programs to develop, validate, and commercialize high-value products based on biomass and biodiversity (Minciencias 2024).
Other instruments: Preferential credit line from Minciencias-Bancóldex for STI in bioeconomy; Spin-Off calls for biotechnology-based companies; Productividad Verde from Colombia Productiva with EU resources (120 companies); and Bioeconomía Internacional 2020 (joint funding Germany-BMBF and Minciencias).
Alert 1: Absence of a structural public-private consortium
Unlike Europe, where the CBE JU guarantees €2,000 million in predictable financing over a decade (2021–2031) with a co-designed strategic agenda, Colombia operates with one-off calls like MAPBIO that depend on international cooperation (UK PACT, GGGI) whose continuity is not guaranteed after each program closes. The risk: projects that reach significant technological maturity but are discontinued when the funding cycle ends, without a market transition mechanism.
The goal of 500 bioproducts by 2030 requires a financing instrument with a multi-year horizon, mixed governance, and clear cumulative impact metrics — not a succession of isolated calls with budgets in the USD $100,000–$465,000 range compared to the €120–215 million annually from the CBE JU.
🟢 Layer 3 – Knowledge: Regional Hubs and Other Projects
Regional hubs
A regional bioeconomy hub is a collaborative ecosystem of actors working to develop products, services, and technologies based on biological resources. These hubs typically involve universities and research centers, companies and startups, local and national governments, civil society organizations, and investors and accelerators. Their objective is to coordinate and accelerate innovation and bio-resource-based production.
Among existing hubs is the Bogotá-Region Bioeconomy Innovation Hub — a joint project of Instituto Humboldt, ProBogotá, Universidad del Rosario, and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), funded by Colombia’s General Royalties System. Its objective: to act as a facilitator among actors and initiatives that identifies bioeconomy innovation opportunities (Instituto Humboldt 2024b, 2024a; Universidad del Rosario 2023).
Another hub is the ANDI Bioeconomy Hub (2025–2026), which seeks to accelerate bioeconomic solutions that can be integrated into Colombian industry, addressing challenges such as eco-intensification of avocado cultivation, conversion of paper waste into biochar, and biodiversity-based bioproducts.
Other knowledge and network projects include: Colombia BIO (Minciencias) managing the bioproduct portfolio with Biointropic; the Bioeconomy Cluster – BRIDGE Colombia (GCRF-funded) across four regions (BRIDGE Colombia 2021); PlaSA Colombia (Alliance Bioversity-CIAT) for food systems monitoring; and the SiB Colombia (hosted at Instituto Humboldt), which incorporated 15.1 million new biological records between 2022–2024, a growth of 88% (Ministerio de Ambiente 2025).
Critical Alerts for Information Centralization
From the Europe-Colombia comparative analysis, four additional alerts emerge:
Alert 2: Methodological standardization across layers
Each layer operates with different methodologies, metrics, and definitions. In Europe, the BMS took years to harmonize its conceptual framework with the monitoring frameworks of the CAP, CFP, Forest Europe, and the SDGs (Robert et al. 2020). In Colombia, the risk is greater: the ONB may establish bioeconomy metrics, while the Humboldt Hub uses different metrics, and MAPBIO evaluates its projects with a third set.
Without standard methodologies and metrics per layer, it is impossible to compare exercises across regions or aggregate results at the national level. The EU BMS resolved this through a participatory co-design process (the Community of Practice) and the definition of a hierarchical conceptual framework before selecting indicators.
Alert 3: Data rigor and sufficiency for indicators
Even the EU, with Eurostat as its statistical backbone, faces serious limitations in bioeconomy data. The BMS had to remove 13 indicators in 2023 due to lack of updated data. It only covers 52% of planned key components and annually updates only ~64% of existing indicators (Kilsedar et al. 2023; Patani et al. 2024). In Colombia, the situation is more severe: DANE released its bioeconomy satellite account with significant limitations, sectoral statistics are not disaggregated, biodiversity information is concentrated in 5 departments (50% of all data), and official surveys contain aggregated data on the Colombian economy (Organización Internacional del Trabajo 2022).
The temptation to fill a dashboard with proxy indicators that do not capture the reality of the bioeconomy is a real risk. Better to have few rigorous indicators than many imprecise ones.
Alert 4: Project continuity and discontinuation risk
The European experience shows that building bioeconomy information systems is a process of at least a decade. The KCB launched in 2017, the BMS in 2020, and in 2025 the EU continues iterating with its new Strategy (European Commission 2025b). The CBE JU has a horizon through 2031. In Colombia, both MAPBIO and the Bioeconomy Hub depend on non-recurring funding (royalties, UK PACT, international cooperation). BRIDGE Colombia has already ended. Project continuity is directly proportional to the clarity of objectives and the availability of structural funding.
Alert 5: Private sector interest and risk of market disconnection
International experience demonstrates that bioeconomy cannot be sustained solely by public investment. Initiatives like the CBE JU were designed precisely to mobilize private capital toward bio-based innovation, through clear technology agendas, market-oriented project portfolios, and co-financing mechanisms between industry and the public sector.
If the national bioeconomy strategy fails to generate clear market signals, investment portfolios, or shared risk frameworks, the private sector will have few incentives to participate. In that scenario, bioeconomy risks becoming an agenda sustained mainly by public spending, without industrial scaling or value chain consolidation.
In Colombia, this risk is particularly relevant: most current initiatives focus on pilot projects, international cooperation, or one-off public funding, without structural mechanisms to facilitate the entry of business capital.
If the private sector does not perceive clear investment opportunities, the state may end up financing a strategy that generates knowledge and pilots, but not markets. Bioeconomy, by definition, requires industrial demand, business investment, and productive scaling to materialize its economic impact.

Conclusion
The European experience demonstrates that centralizing bioeconomy information is not a purely technical exercise, but an act of governance. It requires: (1) a clear institutional mandate (Action 3.3.2 of the 2018 Strategy); (2) a technical-scientific actor to lead (the JRC); (3) interoperable official data sources (Eurostat); (4) a participatory co-design process (the CoP); and (5) continuous iteration over years (Giuntoli et al. 2020; Robert et al. 2020).
Colombia has the ingredients: DNP with the ONB as a macro monitoring space, research centers and industry associations as nodes of knowledge and articulation, Minciencias with acceleration instruments, and an emerging ecosystem of actors. What is missing is:
First, a hierarchical and standardized conceptual framework — equivalent to the BMS’s 4-level framework — that defines what is measured at each layer before building dashboards. Second, a public-private consortium with multi-year funding and clear goals to avoid project discontinuity. Third, new statistical instruments (the EEB, satellite accounts, business and national surveys with bioeconomy-related questions) that address the data insufficiency that not even Europe has fully resolved. And fourth, the political will to treat bioeconomy data as long-term strategic infrastructure.
Bioeconomy cannot be governed without information. The three layers — monitoring, acceleration, and knowledge — are complementary but not homogeneous: each requires differentiated indicators, methodologies, and data. Colombia does not need to replicate Europe, but it does need to learn its main lesson: framework first, dashboard second; standard methodology first, indicators second; structural funding first, project acceleration second. Building in reverse guarantees visually impressive but empty platforms.
