The World BioEconomy Forum is a global platform for circular bioeconomy stakeholders to share ideas and promote bio-based solutions. We are fully committed to sustainability across the board and believe that climate change is real. As there is no one-size-fits-all bioeconomy, we evaluate the status of the circular bioeconomy with the Four-Pillar Structure. All our programmes and other activities are based on the Four-Pillar Structure.

The World BioEconomy Forum season 2022 was successfully culminated in the annual conference on 7–8 September 2022, gathering over 50 speakers to share their insights on the theme.
