"What's next for the European bio-based sector?" will be the main theme of the first CBE JU Stakeholder Forum on 6-7 December 2023 in Brussels, Belgium. Join the conversation among stakeholders of the circular bio-based sector.

CBESF23

After several years of online exchanges, the first CBE JU Stakeholder Forum will take place in person at The EggOpen link in new window venue. The event’s forward-looking focus will allow stakeholders from across the sector, from primary producers to researchers, industries and decision-makers, to engage in a compelling discussion on ways to bring bio-based solutions to the market.

The forum will focus on three questions that are crucial for the successful development of the circular bio-based sector across Europe:

  • How to stimulate demand for circular bio-based solutions?
  • How to facilitate access to finance to scale up circular bio-based production in Europe?
  • What R&I do we need to keep the European leadership in the bio-based sector in the medium-long term?

Successful examples and lessons learnt will underpin the discussion.

In addition to the forum themes, CBE JU is proposing to forum participants a set of topics for focused in-depth discussions:

  • Overcoming the challenges of biorefineries
  • Promoting bio-based industries in regions:
  • Engaging primary producers
  • Developing skills for the bio-based sector:
  • Promoting young researchers in the bio-based sector

Event participants will have the occasion to engage in the discussion via a set of event sessions, targeted workshops, and ample networking opportunities. An exhibition featuring the highly innovative bio-based solutions developed by CBE JU-funded projects will take place throughout the event.
