he Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), a €2 billion partnership between the European Union and the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), announces the highly anticipated Stakeholder Forum 2023, scheduled to take place on 6-7 December, at the central and contemporary Egg venue in Brussels.
About the event: The theme for this event is “What next for the European bio-based sector?” where 500+ industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and bioeconomy stakeholders will converge for a two-day exploration of the future of the circular bio-based economy in Europe. The forum will present its major progress in supporting competitive circular bio-based industries across Europe and will address three critical questions:
- How to stimulate demand for circular bio-based solutions?
- How to facilitate access to finance to scale up circular bio-based production in Europe?
- What research and innovation (R&I) is needed to maintain European leadership in the bio-based sector in the medium-long term?
Participants will engage on these topics across nine forum sessions and several workshops. Additionally, an exhibition showcasing 30+ innovative bio-based solutions developed by CBE JU-funded projects will run throughout the event.
