CLIB (Cluster Industrial Biotechnology) is an international open innovation cluster of large companies, SME, investors, academic institutes, and universities, as well as other stakeholders active in bioeconomy. The cluster comprises over 100 members with a share of about 25 % international members. The overall goal of CLIB is to network stakeholders in Germany and beyond and to identify new opportunities for innovation, projects, and business. Through this, the cluster develops cross-sectoral biotechnological solutions for sustainable processes and products. CLIB is a non-profit association, with its members shaping the cluster’s interests and activities. The cluster is involved in several associated programs which cover different aspects of bioeconomy and invites members to become involved. To this end, CLIB organises several events throughout the year: the annual CLIB International Conference (CIC), the CLIB Networking Day (CND), forum events, topic-specific workshops, and dedicated small partnering meetings
