The „Businet Rohrkolben“ is a network of independent firms, organisations and institutions that are cooperatively building up a cattail value-added chain. The „Businet Rohrkolben“ aims at linking-up business ventures that operate in the field of organic building material and bio-energy production, plant construction, marketing and construction. That way innovation and competitiveness of the involved partners is strengthened and the market mindshare of organic building material and bio-energy supply increased. The project, initiated and managed by seecon, contributes to regional development and thus enjoys the support of the Canton of Lucerne within the framework of the New Regional Policy.
