Looking forward to meeting you in Brussels!


To tackle global challenges like climate change and land ecosystem degradation, we must improve and innovate how we produce and consume food, products, and materials within healthy ecosystems through a sustainable bioeconomy. Project BIO-Boost will increase the latent potential of the participating innovation agencies, to learn from leading innovator regions, and cement this knowledge and experience in the organisations, building and expanding networks, expanding the cooperation, and enlarging the participation of more diverse innovation stakeholders and territories to existing successful initiatives in the bioeconomy.
