Registration open for webinar “Bio-based sweet spots for the chemical industry – A conclusion and discussion after the second stakeholder workshop”
The RoadToBio consortium is pleased to invite you to the second webinar to introduce and discuss the bio-based opportunities identified within the project for the chemical industry to increase its bio-based portfolio.
The RoadToBio project has identified nine exemplary “sweet spots”. Based on TRL, market volume and price these bio-based chemicals were selected as promising candidates with the potential to replace fossil-based counterparts. Currently, the descriptions of business cases are under development to describe the potential advantages for industry, consumers and the society of these “sweet spots”. Recently, a stakeholder workshop took place in Brussels in June with the aim to discuss hurdles and enablers for market entrance of bio-based products in general and also with a strong focus on the sweet spots.
To introduce a broader audience to the identified “sweet spots” and the results of the workshop we would like to invite you to participate in the upcoming RoadToBio Webinar “Bio-based sweet spots for the chemical industry – A conclusion and discussion after the second stakeholder workshop” on 11 July 2018 at 13.00 CEST. You should take this opportunity to learn and discuss the identified bio-based products with a community of relevant stakeholders.
This webinar is targeted to producers, consumers, NGOs, academics or any other interested party in the field of bio-based chemicals and biomaterials.
