As part of the Ecosystem Training Programme, this webinar focuses on how bio-based innovations can move from concept to pilot and scale-up. Organised by Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (BBEPP) under the BIOECONOMY GIANTS initiative, the session will introduce practical scale-up strategies, key technical and policy considerations, and ways to accelerate the development of bioeconomy solutions towards market uptake.
The European Union’s bioeconomy plays a crucial role in achieving ambitious climate and sustainability goals. However, transforming promising ideas into scalable and market-ready solutions requires access to the right expertise, infrastructure, and strategic support.
Why Join?
This training will provide participants with practical insights into the scale-up journey of bioeconomy innovations, from early-stage concepts to pilot and demonstration phases. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the technical, strategic, and policy-related aspects involved in successful upscaling.
In today’s transition towards more sustainable and circular business models, scaling up bio-based solutions is essential to strengthen competitiveness, foster innovation, and unlock new opportunities for rural and regional development.
Quick Sneak Peek
Watch a short video from the BBEPP premises and discover the pilot and demonstration facilities that support the development and scale-up of bio-based solutions. The video will give participants a practical look at how BBEPP helps innovators and primary producers bring their ideas closer to market.
Who is it for?
The session is specifically tailored to the primary sector, offering practical and actionable insights for:
• Primary producers
• Farmers and livestock producers
• Cooperatives and associations
• Clusters
• Stakeholders across the bio-based value chain
