BIO2REG Connect brings regional authorities, clusters, researchers, development actors, policymakers, and experts together. The event focuses on practical pathways for advancing circular and bio-based innovation across Europe’s regions.

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, followed by a networking reception.

BIO2REG Connect – turn knowledge into action and strengthen your regional capacity for a sustainable bioeconomy!
