What next for the European bio-based sector?’ will be the main theme of the first CBE JU Stakeholder Forum to take place in-person on 6-7 December 2023 in Brussels, Belgium. Book your agenda to be part of the conversation among 600 stakeholders of the circular bio-based sector. Registration for the event will open in September.
Forum themes
The forum will focus on three questions that are crucial for the successful development of circular bio-based sector across Europe:
How to stimulate demand for circular bio-based solutions?
How can we boost investments in the bio-based sector? What do consumers and industries need to take up bio-based products and solutions? Which successful models could be transferred from other sectors?
How to facilitate access to finance to scale up circular bio-based production in Europe?
What can we learn from successful financial engineering examples? Can success stories from other continents be implemented in Europe? What financing models could foster the replication of industrial plants in EU?
What R&I do we need to keep the European leadership in bio-based sector in the medium-long term?
As a major contributor to the ambitious EU climate goals, what R&I does the bio-based sector need to thrive? What are the sector’s R&I priorities for the next 30 years? Which emerging technologies does the sector need to remain competitive on the global market?
Successful examples and lessons learnt will underpin the discussion.
