Bio-based industries can play a critical role in boosting Europe’s economy and promoting long-term sustainable growth, officials, experts and business leaders said at a major Brussels forum on the bio-economy on March 20.
Speakers said a broad range of opportunities in the sector were now opening up, in part thanks to the launch in July 2014 of the EU’s Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU), a €3.7 billion public-private partnership.
