Project event: BIO2REG Connect
Unlocking Regional Pathways for the Bioeconomy
Open invitation to regions seeking to turn their bioeconomy ambitions into concrete regional action: Registration is now open for BIO2REG Connect – Unlocking Regional Pathways for the Bioeconomy.
The event, taking place on February 3rd in Brussels, brings together regional leaders, policymakers, and experts and offers plenty of room for exchange, learning, and networking. Join us for a day of inspiring discussions, practical insights, and hands-on collaboration.
After high-level opening remarks have set the scene, keynotes and a panel discussion will div into how regions can unlock pathways to a circular bioeconomy. This is followed by regional pitches, enriched by presentations from external services that support bioeconomy transitions.
In the afternoon, you’ll participate in a hands-on workshop to map key regional bioeconomy needs and co-create action pathways. Breakout groups let participants dig into key topics, while a bioeconomy “speed-dating” session pairs regions and experts for quick, focused conversations.
The day finishes with a networking reception offering a great opportunity to connect, share ideas, and build lasting partnerships.
