Demand signals — live tenders and grants matched to our supplier index

Territory: Russia / EAEU (owner decision 2026-10-06). In-territory demand = 1 tender(s): 44-FZ — Procurement of 2000L bioreactors ($800K). The other 2 tenders and all 46 grant calls are outside Russia/EAEU (EU TED, US SAM.gov, EC/CBE JU/UKRI/NSF grants) and are kept below only as market context. This snapshot has no zakupki.gov.ru capture yet — a direct 44-FZ/223-FZ capture is the missing demand source.

/tenders/ and /grants/ screens captured into asia_biotech_research/data/bioecon/tenders.json and grants.json (2026-09-30), joined to ALL_COMPANIES.csv. The captures were transcribed by hand from the live screens — spot-check values and deadlines against the live screen before acting on them.

Deadlines are shown as they were on the capture date (days remaining), so they age; re-capture before use. bioecon itself offers a “Match suppliers” link per signal — this is the same join run against our 1,813-company index instead of theirs.

Tenders — live procurement (someone is buying now)#

3 open at capture. These are the strongest calls-to-action in the vault: a deadline is a reason to contact a supplier this week. Note the two-tier read: the mentions column counts active companies whose card mentions the product (users included); the vetted bidders line is the hand-checked shortlist of companies whose own card shows they supply the equipment. Where that line is empty, the honest answer is that our index cannot serve the tender.

Grants — funding calls matched to our rubrics#

Sorted by time remaining. “Our pool” = active companies in our index tagged for the matched rubric(s); examples are contactable (email on card).

Where the mapped money goes#

Known call values only (several EU calls do not display a value), grouped by the rubric they map to. This is funding directed at substitution, not market size — a different signal from MARKET-SIZE.md, and the two should be read together.

Not supplier-relevant#

10 further calls fund people, papers or policy work rather than suppliers (fellowships, internships, doctorates, policy hubs, bioterrorism, AI advice). Recorded so the exclusion is a decision, not an oversight:

• UKRI — UKRI policy internships 2026
• UKRI — Sector transition: UKRI policy fellowships 2026
• European Commission — Bio-based innovation in society: supporting the sustainable way of living
• European Commission — Bioeconomy policy support hub for Member States, regions and sectors
• UKRI — Early independence: BBSRC fellowships: full stage
• U.S. National Science Foundation — Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology
• UKRI — Doctoral focal award: UKRI venture doctorates: outline stage
• European Commission — Prevention and mitigation of misuse of synthetic biology for bioterrorism purposes
• European Commission — International dimension of the circular bio-based economy: seeking win-win opportunities
• European Commission — Towards a Europe of Bioeconomy Places

Method and limits#

• Rubric matching uses the explicit keyword rules in this file (RULES); a call can map to several rubrics. Out-of-scope detection is likewise rule-based — check both before trusting a row.
• Tender product matches search each company’s own card text (Focus / Profile / website sections via tools/rubrics.card_text), the same evidence standard the article supplier tables use.
• Values are summed as displayed; the screens mix $, € and £ without FX conversion, so the per-rubric totals are indicative ordering, not accounting.
• Deadlines were captured as days remaining and age immediately; re-capture before acting.
• The captures are hand-transcribed from the live screens and have not been independently verified against the underlying tender/grant portals.
