The World BioEconomy Forum and partners are launching a survey on the formation of a global hub to serve the bioeconomy sector. The aim of the hub is to encourage dialogue relating to all important matters concerning the global bioeconomy as well as its challenges and opportunities. The survey will allow stakeholders across the globe to advise and inform as to what the topics and subjects the hub should be comprised of. The bioeconomy is set to become a major economic stream in the future, and therefore will require growing international collaboration between the various parties.

The World BioEconomy Forum was invited to the UNFCCC COP27 to take part in a bioeconomy panel organised by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). This is the very first time the subject of bioeconomy has been discussed as a part of the official programme in the Blue Zone. The panel discussion will be held on 17 November starting at 5pm local time.

The World BioEconomy Forum’s fifth season, 2022, was concluded 7–8 September 2022. This season the theme was centred around World BioEconomy Forum – talks on climate.

Preparations for the World BioEconomy Forum event to be held 7–9 September have been progressing well. All the speakers and panellists are confirmed. There will be 50 top level speakers from over 20 different countries representing the latest developments of the circular bioeconomy.

World Bioproduct Day will be held on 7 July to enhance the awareness of bioproducts once again. World Bioproduct Day itself is advanced by a month-long social media campaign.
