Bioeconomy Innovation Week

The Bioeconomy Innovation Week, a high-level virtual conference organised within the POWER4BIO project, will take place from 3rd to 5th March 2021. The theme of the conference nods to the potential of the Bioeconomies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in the light of the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the European Green Deal and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bioeconomy Innovation Week will bring together different key actors in the bioeconomy sectors, for example high-level policymakers, representatives of the European Commission and scientists from key bioeconomy projects and initiatives that are active across the CEE countries. Among them, several bioeconomy HUBs and networks from the EU will also be involved in the Bioeconomy Innovation Week. The meeting will be held via Microsoft Teams. Participation to the Bioeconomy Innovation Week is free and open to everybody.

For more information and registration, please visit the POWER4BIO news entry about the Bioeconomy Innovation Week.

Supporting the access of CEE stakeholders to cross-border and trans-national networks – Mazovia, Poland

Please note that this event will be organised as an online meeting.

Within POWER4BIO, the further development of existing networks is supported with the inclusion of missing relevant organisations rather than the creation of new ones. In several events, POWER4BIO is giving regional stakeholders the opportunity to meet a network, exchange experiences, and learn more about the benefits of networking. This event focuses on the support of CEE stakeholders to cross-border and trans-national networks in the Mazovia region in Poland.

Please note that the organisation of this event is still ongoing. For more information, please visit the POWER4BIO event calendar.

Workshop: Expanding the bio-based economy in European regions

In the framework of the POWER4BIO cross-visit to Mazovia, on January 21st 2020, from 11:10 to 12:40, the European Chemical Regions Network (ECRN) organizes the workshop “Expanding the bio-based economy in European regions”.

The event will present regional opportunities and promising bio-based solutions and exchange knowledge and insights for upscaling the bio-based economy in European regions. The scope of the workshop is to identify the most promising areas of cooperation among regions and support the creation of innovative cross-border bio-based value chains.

Knowledge sharing and cooperation between regions are key success factors for the development and implementation of bioeconomy strategies. By bringing together regions with more established bio-based ecosystems and regions that are in the process of developing their bio-based economy, the workshop will provide a knowledge bridge to improve the uptake of a sustainable bioeconomy in Europe.

POWER4BIO cross-visit to Mazovia, Poland

Please note that this event will be organised as an online meeting.

This online cross-visit is jointly organised by the Mazovia Energy Agency, the Mazovia region and the European Chemical Regions Network (ECRN), under the scope of POWER4BIO project.

The cross- visit will focus on presenting Mazovia region and its potential for the development of bioeconomy, especially in the agricultural and waste management sectors. It will bring together representatives of all significant target groups that can contribute to the development of the bioeconomy – from regional authorities and the research community to industry. The meeting will integrate theory with practice by presenting the best practices for implementing technological solutions for bioeconomy. During the event, interesting case studies will be presented, showing the use of bioeconomy in various sectors and fields, from biomaterials to food and educational and research activities.
