ART-ER, as partner of the Enterprise Europe Network, is organising, together with Circular Bioeconomy Cluster SPRING and Innovhub-SSI, the 14th edition of IFIB – International Forum on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioeconomy, aimed at strengthening the bioeconomy network in the Euro-Mediterranean area and to promote partnerships.

The topic of the Forum is circular bioeconomy, with particular attention to industrial biotechnology as Key Enabling Technology. This year’s edition will have a specific focus on biotech solutions applied in the agrofood sectors. The Italian food valley will become the world center of gravity of bioeconomy.

Five sessions of pre-arranged face-to-face bilateral meetings (B2B) between Start-ups, Companies, Universities, public and private Research Centres in the field of industrial biotechnology and bio economy will take place in Bologna.

Participants will come from Europe and beyond to find potential partners for collaborations, business development, licensing agreements, joint ventures, research projects, exchange of experiences and partnership opportunities.
