The purpose of ABCEurope, a three-year project (2009-2012), is to promote and improve the interrelations and associations between the bioclusters and among their enterprises. The project brings together 13 partners from the strongest in Europe in biotechnology with representatives form bioregions of Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain —there is a single partner which is the Barcelona Science Park representing the Bioregion of Catalonia—, France, Hungary, Italy, Israel, United Kingdom and Sweden. It is financed by the European Union within the 7th Framework Program and has a budget of € 3.5 million.
