Tech stack map - our project vs the bioecon.ru technology index

Companion document: ECOSYSTEM-CATALOGUE.md (generated by tools/build_ecosystem_catalogue.py) covers all 635 technologies in 46 clusters as a commercial ecosystem — per-technology supplier counts, risk, regions, dossier status and our own links — and lists the enrichment backlog including the deferred watchlist below. This map stays the record of what we changed in our own tagging; the catalogue is the wider view.

Written 2026-09-29. Source: en.bioecon.ru/technology (635 technology dossiers). Raw captures in asia_biotech_research/data/bioecon/: technologies.json (full index), tech_pages.json (91 vault-relevant dossier texts), tech_suppliers.json (parsed supplier tables), tech_coverage_review.json (this review, machine-readable), TECH-STACK-CHECK-2026-09-29.html (the first check report).

What was compared#

“Our project’s technologies” = three layers: the topic tree (sources/topics.json keyword rules that tag companies), the 115 articles in 17 collections (the substitutions themselves), and the watchlist in BIOECONOMY-TRENDS.md. Method: token/keyword matching of all 635 tech names against topic regexes and article titles; every low-coverage tech on an in-scope cluster was hand-read; candidate rules were scored against the 1,578 company cards before any rule was added.

Added to the project (2026-09-29)#

New topics: 39 -> 47 (identical in all three datasets)#

Topic	Group	Tagged now	Why
`bamboo`	Bio-based materials	7	stack: bamboo bioeconomy; vault has bamboo makers (Indobamboo, Fenghe, altPlus, Bamboo Center, …)
`biochar`	Energy & environment	3	pyrolysis carbon & soil amendment
`chitin-chitosan`	Bio-based materials	1	shellfish/insect side-streams (Insectta, …)
`nanocellulose-composites`	Bio-based materials	8	CNF/MCC + wood-plastic & natural-fibre composites (Sappi, Suzano, Huasu WPC, …)
`upcycled-ingredients`	Food biotech	5	residue-to-ingredient trend (Fermenstation, CRUST, Unlimeat, …)
`regenerative-agriculture`	Agricultural biotech	2	agroecology, no-till, cover crops
`animal-vaccines`	Animal & aquaculture	22	aligns with the 2026-09-29 scope decision (animal vaccines IN)
`biosurfactants`	Industrial biotech	1	named watchlist area (Kao)

Extended keyword rules: 7 existing topics (approximate additional matches)#

Topic	Added terms	Extra companies
`biofertilizers`	endophytes, rhizosphere, mycorrhiza, microbial consortia, PGPR, rhizobia, azotobacter, azospirillum, phosphate solubilizers, bio-inoculants	~30
`organic-acids`	FDCA, itaconate, butanediol/BDO	~4
`sweeteners-polyols`	sweet proteins (thaumatin, monellin, brazzein, mogroside)	~3
`carbon-blue-carbon`	BECCS, soil carbon, carbon farming	~6
`precision-fermentation`	gas fermentation, syngas, acetogenic	~3
`biopesticides`	semiochemicals, mating disruption, kairomones, Beauveria, Metarhizium, neem/azadirachtin, Trichogramma, predatory mites, beneficial insects	~20
`water-bioremediation`	biosorption, microplastic	~8

Rubric tag-mappings (`tools/rubrics.py`)#

animal-vaccines -> veterinary, fishery articles
bamboo -> construction, forestry articles

Effect: construction left the rubric gap list (38 -> 41 candidates; gaps are now mining only).

Reviewed and deliberately NOT added (thin company base; kept as discovery watch items)#

hemp materials (0 companies), bio-adhesives (2), bio-asphalt (1), eDNA/biomonitoring (2), rare-earth biosorption (1), bio-flotation reagents (1), microbial peptides (3), bio-lubricants (2), antifouling marine coatings (2), biofortification (3), bio-polyurethanes (n/a). These match real gaps in the stack too - paid discovery (exa_osint.py) could seed them later.

Out of scope (no action)#

Therapeutics / diagnostics / medtech (~80+ techs), digital / AI / analytics, finance, insurance, regulatory services, defense & forensics, lab equipment and cleanroom topics, consumer-product niches.

Open items#

bioecon.ru also runs Grants (45 open calls) and Tenders (377 open notices; EU-skewed) screens - candidates for monitoring; not captured yet.
The 91 captured dossiers double as a candidate source for supplier-gap articles (e.g. bio-mining, bio-cementation, bioherbicides, pheromones - the text and supplier tables are searchable in data/bioecon/).
