Organising the European Bioecononomy Scene 2019 Conference during the Finnish EU Presidency in July 2019 in Helsinki

Project description

Engaging stakeholders in bioeconomy investments

When Finland assumed the six-month rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union on 1 July 2019, the bioeconomy was high on its agenda. The EU-funded BIOSCENE 2019 project supported the ‘European Bioeconomy Scene 2019’ conference that took place in Helsinki under the auspices of the presidency. It was aimed at raising awareness about the bioeconomy and to engage stakeholders in the creation of new markets. To assist, the project brought together researchers, stakeholders, policymakers and civil society across the whole bioeconomy value chain. The conference contributed to the future orientation of the European Bioeconomy Strategy.
