BUSINESS
VCG.AI is an AI-powered platform for developing circular economy business models, connecting industrial byproducts and waste streams with valorization technologies, potential buyers, and regional partners. The proprietary Value Chain Generator platform integrates data on 650+ validated circular solutions, 150+ conversion technologies, 3.5 million companies, and 4 million tonnes of project-ready organic residuals across Europe. Clients include cities (London, Istanbul, Berlin, Helsinki among 8 circular city programs), biorefineries, food and beverage processors, and financial institutions evaluating circular economy investments.
BIOTECH INVOLVEMENT
The Value Chain Generator maps biotechnology-based conversion pathways (fermentation, enzymatic processing, biorefining) for organic waste and byproduct streams, helping companies and regions identify which bio-based technologies and partners can valorize their residuals. The platform's BioLink algorithm matches feedstocks to technologies and end markets, functioning as a decision support tool for bioeconomy investment and strategy.
