The European Bioeconomy Network has been highlighted in the new report “Enhancing Stakeholder Involvement in EU Bioeconomy Policy” , released by the European Commission, as a key success story stemming from the BIOVOICES project. The BIOVOICES project was recognised as a standout case study for its effective stakeholder engagement strategies and, among other achievements, made a significant impact by founding EuBioNet, which now connects over 150 EU-funded projects and initiatives focused on promoting the bioeconomy.

The report underscores EuBioNet’s role in facilitating cross-project collaboration and knowledge sharing, which has been pivotal in enhancing stakeholder engagement within the bioeconomy. In fact, EuBioNet was recognized as a model of best practice in the EU Bioeconomy Strategy 2018 for its ability to foster stakeholder involvement and increase the impact and exploitation of bioeconomy projects across Europe.

By continuing to promote the exchange of knowledge and best practices, stimulating thematic dialogues boosting the bioeconomy uptake, EuBioNet remains a vital platform for driving the ongoing success of the bioeconomy transition in Europe.

En este taller organizado por Innovarum y el proyecto MainstreamBIO, conocerás dos iniciativas en la bioeconomía exitosas en la región: la Sociedad Cooperativa Agrícola San Lorenzo y la Ganadería La Albarda. En el evento se abordarán temas como logros conseguidos y retos han tenido que enfrentar. Además de una ronda de preguntas y respuestas, habrá un debate sobre cada caso, y se intercambiarán ideas sobre cómo favorecer el desarrollo de iniciativas similares.

¡Queremos tener tu punto de vista en el debate! Si tienes relación o experiencia en bioeconomía, o participas en una iniciativa que querría implementar este tipo de negocio, te esperamos con los brazos abiertos.
