Prerequisites for the emergence of inter-industry value chain collaboration for the circular bioeconomy

• Actors active in the circular bioeconomy strive to commercialize sustainable innovations from bio-based resources and technologies. Inter-industry collaboration is a fruitful way to exploit new market opportunities, yet these are rare and poorly understood. This research aims to identify prerequisites for inter-industry value chain collaboration that promote the commercialization of sustainable innovations in the bioeconomy. Data was collected through case studies and interviews with firm representatives from Nordic collaborations aiming to contribute to the shift towards renewable transport fuels. Combining a literature review with empirical material, the paper presents a framework of prerequisites at the firm- and interfirm level.
