DiP starts into the future of the bioeconomy with up to 105 million euros

The south of Saxony-Anhalt is developing into a model region for sustainable bioeconomy. At our official kick-off event on the “Digitization of Plant Value Chains” (DiP) on March 4, 2025, all 19 DiP joint projects were able to introduce themselves and exchange ideas with stakeholders in the region.

DiP workshop prepares joint project partners for final application

In late summer 2023, 20 of the 30 joint projects in the consortium “Model region of the bioeconomy for the digitalization of plant value chains in the Central German mining area in Saxony-Anhalt” – DiP for short – were invited by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to submit a complete application for the first funding phase from 2024 to 2028 after their outlines had been reviewed.
The DiP coordination office based at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) organized a partner workshop at the beginning of September to prepare for this.
