Christopher vom Burg of the nova-institute said of winning the Bio Act of the Year Award: “A big thank you to the World BioEconomy Forum for granting us the Bio Act of the Year Award 2021. This caught us completely by surprise, but we are absolutely honoured to see that our hard work has been recognised! The award is a confirmation that we are on the right track, and it motivates us to continue developing the RCI and to push for the transition of the chemicals and materials sector from fossil to renewable carbon.”
The World BioEconomy Forum 2021 featured an excellent variety of side events, performances, and special guests both in Belém and online who made the event memorable and special. You are now able to relive and experience the Forum through the event videos provided on our YouTube channel.
The Forum is now looking towards the season for 2022, which will again be packed with circular bioeconomy dialogue opportunities including Roundtables and Insider Insights based on the four-pillar structure.

The Four-Pillar Structure of the World BioEconomy Forum
The Forum strictly operates under the Four-Pillar Structure: I The Bioeconomy: People, Planet, Policies, II Global Leaders and the Financial World, III Bioproducts Around Us and IV Looking to the Future. Using the Four-Pillar Structure enables the complete evaluation of the status of the circular bioeconomy and thereby facilitates developments across the whole of the sector. This makes the Forum and its activities extremely powerful and effective, enabling the facilitating of a holistic bioeconomy and thus making significant conjoined efforts in the mitigation of climate change.
All Forum programs and activities are aligned with the Four-Pillar Structure, including all Roundtables and the annual Declaration. This four-pillar structure ensures that all relevant stakeholders in the circular bioeconomy have a voice and a platform.
