Challenges and opportunities for the establishment of bio-based value chains
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
Via A. Corti,12
Milano
The Lombardy Green Chemistry Association, the regional point of reference of the bioeconomy ecosystem, organises the conference as one of the main events to be held in Lombardy during the National Bioeconomy Day promoted by the Cluster SPRING and Assobiotec. The event triggers the interregional cooperation and is part of the Vanguard Initiative's Bioeconomy Pilot which is co-lead by the Lombardy region and enhance the Smart Specialization Strategy of 25 European regions. The conference aims to raise public awareness and promote dialogue on bio-energy production across Europe. It will be accomplished by bringing together academics, researchers, stakeholders, policymakers and business representatives operating in the bio-based value chain.
The objective of the conference is to exchange ideas on how to support the interregional cooperation on the innovative use of non-food biomass, share experience and discuss bottlenecks in the final step from technical maturity to industrial and market implementation.
