Bioeconomy Innovation Day: Advancing Resource Efficiency and Value Creation in Europe

Bioeconomy Innovation Day banner

The Bioeconomy Innovation Day – Advancing Resource Efficiency and Value Creation in Europe – is organised in cooperation with the Swedish research collaboration platform Treesearch, FinnCERES materials bioeconomy Flagship from Finland, and the B2BE facilitator, a matchmaker in the Flemish bioeconomy. 

The event will take place on 16 November, 2023, at 9:00-18:00 (CET) in Brussels, at the Marriott Hotel Grand Place.

This unique opportunity brings together key innovators, policy-makers, researchers, and funding agencies with the aim to explore the importance of the bioeconomy in fostering resource efficiency, resilience, and value creation across Europe. The goal is to explore how the bioeconomy can advance the green transition and offer fresh insights into cutting-edge circular bio-based innovations.

Join us to delve into the potential of bioeconomy innovations for Europe and discuss the future of research and development funding for materials research and innovation!

  • Registration is open until 1 November;
  • The event is free of charge;
  • A no-show fee of 100EUR will be invoiced to registered people who have not attended the event.

Please note: registering for the event does not automatically grant access, as we will be conducting a selection process to ensure a diverse and balanced participation.
