Stakeholders
CERNET is built on a strong foundation of collaboration across sectors
Engaging the ecosystem
From the very beginning of the project, stakeholder engagement plays a central role in ensuring that the technologies and solutions developed are relevant, scalable, and impactful. Following a Quadruple Helix model, CERNET brings together academia, industry, government, and civil society to co-create sustainable pathways for converting biogenic carbon into valuable bio-based products.
