Bio-based strategies and roadmaps for enhanced rural and regional development in the EU

Project description

Harnessing regional strengths for rural bioeconomies

The 2018 EU Bioeconomy Strategy aims to develop a circular, sustainable bioeconomy for Europe that increases the connection between the economy, society and environment. Regionally, the transition towards a new, bio-based economy requires the active involvement of a broad spectrum of stakeholders and the sustainable use of agricultural, forest and marine ecosystems. The EU-funded BE-Rural project will explore the potential of regional and local bio-based economies by supporting relevant actors in the participatory development of bioeconomy strategies, roadmaps and business models. The project will focus on developing Open Innovation Platforms within Bulgaria, Latvia, North Macedonia, Poland and Romania, bringing together key stakeholders to create ideas and capitalise on this bioeconomy potential.
