More than 700 experts from more than 70 countries are following the call. High-level representatives from politics, science, civil society and business will be discussing the latest developments on the global bioeconomy from 19 to 20 April. The opportunities and challenges of an increasingly bio-based, more sustainable economy are in focus.
