Bioeconomy Cluster

The emerging bioeconomy is moving from research niche to market norm. The workshop in Slovakia was the official “side event” of the main Bioeconomy Conference, which was held in parallel in Brussels, focusing on the need to have a sustainable and circular bioeconomy to enhance the transition in a changed EU policy context and towards a new environmental, social and economic reality.
