    The purpose of hypothesis testing projects is to be risk-taking and capture new visionary ideas that have the potential to significantly contribute to and benefit from the transition to a bio-based economy. Either the idea is technically innovative and groundbreaking with great market potential, or the idea is commercially innovative and has a clear customer focus with the potential to quickly reach the market.
