Long-term Impact Managers of local hubs recognise the concrete transformations generated through BIOLOC. The analysis focused on five core dimensions of hub development— Vision, Network, Engagement, Governance, and Infrastructure—tracking their evolution over the course of the project. The radar diagram clearly illustrates this trajectory: from modest starting conditions (blue) to significantly strengthened capacities by the project’s conclusion (orange). In every dimension, stakeholders reported substantial progress, confirming that hubs not only consolidated their strategic vision but also expanded networks, improved governance, enhanced community engagement, and invested in infrastructure for future growth. At the centre of this transformation lies the validation of innovative business models co-created within the hubs. Designed to be both economically viable and socially inclusive, these models are rooted in local realities and ecological priorities. By aligning regional strengths with the principles of the circular bioeconomy, BIOLOC has left behind hubs that are more resilient, better connected, and prepared to generate long-term impact. 35 Long-term Impact
