The BIOEAST Initiative under the patronage of Hungarian Visegrad Group Presidency organizes on November 15th a workshop and panel discussion on funding opportunities by means of financial instruments. It targets the policy makers, public (ministries, agencies, offices) and private funders (banks) and the engagement of key stakeholders from different bioeconomy sectors of the BIOEAST macro-region. The purpose of the workshop is to provide information on European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF), European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) financing possibilities, engaging good examples of already financed and potential future projects.

The aim of the workshop is to give information on financing instruments related to the biomass production and processing, with special attention to encourage beneficiaries and investors. In the context of available funds for applications at technology readiness level 3-9 aims to present public and private funding opportunities for Central and Eastern European Countries.

One specific objective is to draw attention to the bottlenecks of the current system and to bring viable linkages between investors and market actors.
