The objective of the online event is to explore the extent to which the implementation of a bioeconomy concept can leverage the reactivation of regional economies across Europe.

Through short expert talks, virtual break-out groups, and a panel discussion with participation of the audience, we will aim at answering the following questions:

• How is the current crisis an opportunity to trigger systemic change?
• Who is already incorporating the bioeconomy concept into their recovery plans and actions?
• How do (short term) recovery plans fit with bioeconomy strategies (which have a longer term vision)?
• How resilient is our current notion of the EU bioeconomy, and can it help us navigate future crises?
