EU2013 events
Bioeconomy Stakeholder Conference
14th -15th February
Dublin Castle

Over the last decade, the European Commission has recognised the importance of investing in R&D to support the EU Bioeconomy. It is expected that new bio-processing technologies and approaches will deliver a sustainable and vast array of renewable, value-added bio-based products from biological waste streams including agro-food and forestry residues. The production of these bio-based products will contribute to economic growth and jobs within the EU – whilst at the same time limiting any negative impacts on the environment and reducing our dependency on fossil resources. 

This Conference will deal with the topic of the EU bioeconomy and ensuring that it remains high on Europe's agenda.
