Descripción
There are articles and information on the techniques, procedures and methodologies associated with the use of biomass for industrial purposes on different scientific publication platforms. However, the information is scattered and not easily accessible to the non-scientific community. The implementation of the bioeconomy represents a great impulse towards sustainable development. In this context, information that is not easily accessible to non-scientific actors (example: public and private agents) represents an obstacle for the development of the bioeconomy specifically in the Latin American and Caribbean region. Faced with this problem, it is proposed to create a platform based on collective collaboration (crowdsourcing) in which project records will be collected from the prototype phase to the commercial phase, which will be subjected to a curation process. The main objective of the articulation of this platform is to achieve visibility of the opportunities for biomass use in Latin America and the Caribbean. This technological tool will be available in three main languages: Spanish, Portuguese and English, thus overcoming language barriers. The Hub will make it possible to establish relationships between multidisciplinary actors, creating professional and collaborative networks among users. Likewise, it is a channel that enables investors from the public and private sectors to visualize and identify potential opportunities for transforming biomass into products of commercial value. This project is a model of how to promote the visibility of regional scientific and technological work, inclusion in the language and the creation of connections between academic work and the economic needs of a region whose abundant resources have historically been underutilized.
