The Greek bioeconomy forum is a platform where individuals interested in bioeconomy and circular economy come together. The forum operates as a think tank and offers individuals and stakeholders the opportunity to meet, share and network among each other. The vision of the forum is to raise awareness about bio-economy & circular economy and promote the advantages and opportunities presented at local, regional and national level, including among other actions the transfer of know-how and experience in the EU and world-wide. Its aspirations include appealing to the Greek policy and business ecosystems by
- influencing the creation and implementation of a robust framework to motivate the development of bioeconomy as a whole
- supporting the elaboration and implementation of a national action plan to inspire and mobilize investments in bioeconomy and circular economy.
