Ensuring Europe’s Strategic Autonomy in Bio-based Industry
In collaboration with:
The European Bioeconomy Conference brings together EU policymakers, researchers, investors, and sustainability leaders alongside Europe’s bio-based industries. The conference convenes key players from bioenergy, agrifood, textiles, pulp and paper, packaging, wood-based products, and advanced bio-based materials to discuss the role of biomass in strengthening Europe’s industrial base.
Building on last year’s inaugural edition, the 2026 conference provides a platform to assess progress in implementing the EU Bioeconomy Strategy launched by the European Commission. The strategy sets out how sustainable biomass, biomanufacturing, bioenergy, and circular production models can support Europe’s manufacturing competitiveness, energy transition, and strategic resilience, while anchoring growth in domestic value chains.
Join us on 19 November 2026 to help shape a forward-looking bioeconomy dialogue, connecting policy, industry, and innovation to drive a competitive, resilient, and sustainable European economy.
As the EU advances into the new political cycle, the focus is shifting from strategic vision to effective implementation and scale-up, building on a bioeconomy that is already delivering across European value chains. The key question is how to create the right policy, regulatory, and market conditions for the bioeconomy to strengthen Europe’s industrial base and competitiveness.
This includes ensuring that bio-based solutions can compete on a level playing field with fossil-based alternatives, while delivering on decarbonisation, resource efficiency, and Europe’s broader resilience and energy objectives.
The Conference will explore how bio-based materials are already being deployed across European value chains and how they can further contribute to industrial competitiveness and strategic autonomy.
With the right conditions in place, the bioeconomy can become a structural pillar of Europe’s industrial transformation. With the sector already representing a market of up to EUR 2.7 trillion and supporting over 17 million jobs in the EU, the question is increasingly about scale, speed, and Europe’s ability to capture future value creation.
Why become a partner?
The European Bioeconomy Conference brings together EU policymakers, researchers, investors, and industry leaders from across Europe’s bio-based sectors, including bioenergy, agrifood, textiles, pulp and paper, packaging, wood products, bioplastics, and other advanced materials. It highlights the role of biomass-based innovation in supporting Europe’s industrial competitiveness, energy transition, and strategic resilience.
Becoming a partner means actively contributing to this dialogue and positioning your organisation at the heart of Europe’s evolving bioeconomy agenda. By sharing your priorities with us, we tailor your engagement to ensure maximum relevance and impact throughout the event.
Partners benefit from enhanced visibility, access to high-level discussions and VIP formats, and targeted networking opportunities with key stakeholders across policy and industry.
Register your interest, and our team will get in touch to discuss how the European Bioeconomy Conference can best support your objectives.
