Bio economy developement in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico will shift from an oil-based economy to a bio-based economy, which, in its mature state, fully exploits its potential for sustainable production and conversion of biological material. 

This will provide opportunities for economic growth, jobs, create smart bio-based products and biofuels, help deliver global food security, improve nutrition and health, as well as help agriculture, forestry, aquaculture and other ecosystems to adapt to climate change.

Project goals:

To create a platform that will ensure the long-term success of Puerto Rico’s Bio-Economic

development.

To attract business to Puerto Rico by assessing the resources, investment opportunities, creating job growth, and new technologies available in the Bio-Economic field.

To move away from fossil fuel sources and traditional economy that unnecessarily hinder Puerto Rico with excessive importing of non-domestic goods.

Use better what we already use. Innovate how to use what we don’t use yet.
