BiOrbic is based in Ireland and is a world-leading SFI research centre devoted to the bioeconomy. We pursue excellence in research, new discovery and innovation for the development of a sustainable, circular bioeconomy.

The bioeconomy is the part of the economy which uses renewable resources from agriculture, forestry and the marine to produce food, feed, materials and energy, while reducing waste, in support of achieving a sustainable and climate neutral society.
