MT - Steuerung einer Dezentralen Innovationscommunity (StEDI): The management project StEDI aims to create an innovative and decentralized transfer space that supports collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the promotion of sustainable innovations in the biotechnology sector. It seeks to build a self-sustaining, transparent, and trustworthy platform for research and development based on the principles of Open Science. Through targeted innovation management and strategic development, the project aims to deliver sustainable solutions and market-ready applications to revolutionize the bioprocess industry. Core activities of the project include: Goal System and Monitoring:Definition and continuous adaptation of mission statements and goal systems. Introduction of KPIs and a monitoring system to optimize innovation processes. Strategy and Program Development: Development of governance rules with clear communication and task structures. Creation of business models and a strategy for long-term sustainability and market viability. Preparation of a roadmap for implementing strategic measures. Communication and Innovation Management: Development of a comprehensive communication concept to strengthen internal and external communication and to position the community internationally. Implementation of a contact management system to foster networking within the community. Development of transfer formats that convert research results into sustainable industrial applications. Creation of an IT Infrastructure Platform: Construction of a scalable IT platform to support blockchain technology and server-based applications. Identification of requirements, platform design, hardware procurement and installation, as well as platform verification and validation through use cases. Through close collaboration between partners from science, industry, and society, the project aims to reach a critical mass that effectively promotes blockchain- and data-driven innovations in biotech, ensures broad acceptance, and contributes to positive change in both the industry and society.
CP1 - Blockchain Konsortium als Soziale Innovation: Governance und Validierung dezentraler Technologien (BloKSI): Within the framework of the BioBlock project, the overarching goal of the Community Project BloKSI is to promote new business models through the secure exchange of FAIR data and knowledge services, in order to accelerate innovation in the biotechnology sector. Existing and new capabilities are leveraged to strengthen internal trade and create new revenue streams across the product–service continuum. A central component of the project is the development of a blockchain-based infrastructure that ensures trust, traceability, and data privacy in bioprocess development. The BioBlock consortium is working on the joint definition of the architecture, transaction logic, and digital processes to accelerate the product innovation process. The focus is on a cross-organizational structure that ensures the efficient provision of FAIR data and the reproducibility of experiments. A governance mechanism is being developed to regulate who may join the network as a customer, provider, or prosumer, and to ensure the inclusion of all community members in decision-making processes. Further key aspects of the project include the development of a badging system to ensure data provenance and reproducibility, the creation of a cloud-based infrastructure to support data-intensive workflows, and the development of a provenance collector to track progress in collaborative bioprocess developments. Blockchain technology guarantees secure and immutable data storage, which is particularly important in biotechnology. As part of a roadmap, work packages are defined to advance the development and deployment of the platform. This includes decisions on the use of smart contracts, cryptocurrencies, and platform scalability. Decentralization fosters collaboration, which is intended to increase innovation and efficiency in the biotechnology sector.
CP2 - Dezentrale Communities of Practice (dCoPs): The goal of the Community Project dCoP (Decentralized Communities of Practice) is to create a connected and efficient biotechnology community that enhances its innovation capacity through optimized processes and robust structures. The project develops standards and strategies for the use of blockchain technologies in science and establishes common processes for utilizing the BioBlock platform. This platform facilitates secure and efficient knowledge exchange within the biotechnology sector. A central focus is the definition and implementation of standards that ensure the meaningful and sustainable integration of blockchain technologies into scientific workflows. Industry-specific requirements and use cases are taken into account to tailor the platform to the community’s needs. The blockchain-based knowledge exchange platform supports FAIR data management (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and enables transparent, secure, and sustainable knowledge transfer. The project thus creates an environment that promotes access to knowledge and collaboration, accelerating innovation. Its aim is to transform the biotechnology sector in the long term through new standards and practices in knowledge networking and data management.
