CBIO COLLABORATIVE

Collaboration and partnership is core to BEAM Circular’s work and central to everything we do. Our approach is grounded in the belief that the most promising solutions to environmental and social challenges will only be realized through the active engagement of communities, workers, business leaders, public agencies, educators, and innovators from many fields and perspectives.

CBIO Collaborative Leadership Council

BEAM Circular, UC Merced, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory serve as the joint management team for the Circular Bioeconomy Innovation Collaborative (CBIO Collaborative), a diverse coalition of partners developing a strategic plan for a Regional Innovation Engine. CBIO Collaborative is supported by a National Science Foundation Engines Development Award and is made up of over one hundred collaborators who participate in working groups and collaborative design activities. CBIO Collaborative is guided by a Leadership Council consisting of partners from across industry, government, community, and education.
