Sustainable Business Models in Circular Bioeconomy
Sustainable Business Models in Circular Bioeconomy
23 September 2019 I 09:15 – 14:30
Rue du Commerce 44, 1000 Brussels
Permanent Representation of Slovenia to the EU
In 2015, the European Commission adopted the Circular Economy Action Plan, where circular economy is defined as an economic concept where the value of products, materials and resources is maintained in the economy for as long as possible, and consequently the generation of waste minimized. Undeniably, one of the key sector areas of the circular economy is also biomass, which the conference will also address.
The key objective of the conference was to present sustainable business models and best practice examples of public and private cooperation, investment, research and business cooperation, as well as demonstrating the deployment of sustainable and circular bio-based solutions. The conference focused on investment and financing opportunities for circular bioeconomy, including best practice examples of business-research cooperation.
