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 authorities, clusters, researchers, development actors, policymakers, and experts eager to accelerate bioeconomy development in their regions. It will offer plenty of room for exchange, learning, and networking.
The morning features keynotes from the European Research Executive Agency, EU-level policy insights and regional development actors, to set the scene for regional pathways in a fair and just bioeconomy transition. It also includes insights from BIO2REG on the support available for regions, as well as pitches showcasing concrete regional initiatives and services that can help accelerate regional bioeconomy projects.
The afternoon focuses on lively exchange and direct dialogue. An interactive session will bring together regional experiences and perspectives to identify common needs and challenges and turn them into concrete next steps. Breakout discussions and a “speed-dating” session create space to connect, share ideas, and learn from each other. The day finishes with a networking reception offering a great opportunity to connect, share ideas, and build lasting partnerships.
Join us for a day of inspiring discussions, practical insights, and hands-on collaboration!
