Rafinnobio project

The Rafinnobio project aims to connect technological platforms in West Africa and Europe to promote the valorisation of plant-based bioresources and foster sustainable, resilient industrial development adapted to the challenges of climate change.

Project activities

Bringing together technological platforms by fostering exchanges, synergies and cooperation between African and European partners.
Supporting the valorisation of plant-based bioresources by promoting the development of sustainable processing solutions.
Optimising processing methods and strengthening the technological capabilities of Sahelian SMEs.
Designing solutions tailored to local contexts and environmental constraints, particularly those related to climate change.

Scientific and technological objectives

Bringing together the scientific and technological skills and expertise of African and European partners to co-develop innovative, accessible and resource-efficient processing methods, supporting the valorisation of plant-based bioresources across three complementary fields: agri-food, energy and bio-based materials.

This collaborative approach is built on knowledge sharing, skills transfer and the pooling of technological resources, with the aim of addressing the challenges of economic development and ecological transition in local territories.
