The final event of the European project FIRST2RUN will take place at The Square Convention Centre in Brussels on June 20th.

Co-ordinated by NOVAMONT and funded by the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, FIRST2RUN is a flagship project  involving four companies and universities from Italy, UK and The Netherlands.

The aim of FIRST2RUN has been to demonstrate the effectiveness of a sustainable innovative agro-industrial business model based on the valorisation of low-input oil crops towards the production of biobased and biodegradable plastics, cosmetics and biolubricants.

The event will bring together the project partners and different stakeholders all along the bioeconomy value chain to discuss FIRTS2RUN results and impacts, as well as the future perspectives of the bio-based industry in Europe.
