BEAM Circular is building a vibrant regional ecosystem for the circular bioeconomy in California’s agricultural heartland. Anchored in the North San Joaquin Valley, we are facilitating collaboration through the BioEconomy, Agriculture, & Manufacturing (BEAM) Initiative to scale the most promising innovations in bioindustrial manufacturing and to transform waste from food and agricultural systems into economic and environmental opportunity. Our work includes public-private projects and programs in the areas of innovation, access to capital, infrastructure, talent development, and cross-cutting partnerships to advance the sector. BEAM Circular was launched in January 2023, catalyzed by the Stanislaus 2030 inclusive economic development partnership. Together with local communities and a growing network of state and national collaborators, BEAM Circular is now aligning resources, policy, talent, and collaboration to accelerate the circular bioeconomy and make the North San Joaquin Valley the best place in the world to bring bioproduction solutions to scale. BEAM Circular serves as co-lead of the Circular Bioeconomy Innovation Collaborative (CBIO Collaborative), a NSF Engines Development Award recipient, alongside UC Merced and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
