BioFin and BIO-CAPITAL Join Forces to Accelerate Green Finance Solutions
In a move set to boost innovation in sustainable finance, two major EU-backed initiatives — BioFin and BIO-CAPITAL — are teaming up to fast-track research and collaboration in the rapidly evolving field of green finance.
During a strategy session, coordinators from both projects (Hynek Roubík from BIO-CAPITAL and John Garvey from BioFin) laid the groundwork for deeper cooperation, unveiling a series of joint initiatives designed to break down silos and drive impactful progress.
Building Bridges for Sustainable Finance
Among the standout outcomes of the meeting was the decision to open workshops to both project teams, encouraging cross-pollination of ideas. These workshops will cover critical issues such as mapping existing ‘green’ financial instruments and exploring innovative solutions for sustainable investment.
In addition, work package leaders from both projects will hold dedicated meeting throughout the year to identify shared research priorities and explore joint initiatives on key financial topics.
Leveraging BioFin’s established experience, the project’s specialized taskforces — covering sectors such as banking and asset management — will now be accessible to BIO-CAPITAL researchers. This move aims to accelerate knowledge sharing and amplify results.
Perhaps most exciting is the prospect of a one joint consortium meeting throughout the lifespan of the projects. Plans are in motion to combine efforts, dedicating a few days to individual project work followed by shared sessions to tackle overlapping themes. This innovative format promises to strengthen connections and fast-track breakthroughs.
This new partnership signals a bold step forward in uniting research efforts to develop effective financial instruments that support environmental sustainability. By combining their expertise, BioFin and BIO-CAPITAL are poised to unlock smarter, greener financial solutions for a more sustainable future.
