HOOP Project Webinar: Developing urban circular bioeconomy projects
There is a growing demand for circular bioeconomy solutions, but many factors curb the development of concrete projects.
In this webinar titled Developing urban circular bioeconomy projects on 23 May 2024 (10:00 – 11:00 CEST), HOOP experts will share lessons learnt from providing Project Development Assistance (PDA) to 8 cities and regions, and present tools to empower financial investments in circular bioeconomy.
Speakers:
- Miguel Ángel Suárez, CETENMA
- Jorge Rodrigues de Almeida, RdA Climate Solutions
The EU Bioeconomy Strategy sees cities becoming major circular bioeconomy hubs, where biowaste is a feedstock for safe and sustainable bio-based products. But until now very few cities and regions have developed circular bio-based economy strategies or projects for the production of innovative bio-based products.
The HOOP project aims to drive innovation in the sector by assisting 8 cities and regions, so-called Lighthouses, in the implementation of novel circular processes. By helping the Lighthouses address legal, financial, and technical barriers, HOOP will unlock significant investments in state-of-the-art biowaste and wastewater valorisation technologies
In this webinar series experts from the HOOP project will share learnings and good practices to help make urban circular bioeconomy projects a reality.
The HOOP project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N°101000836.
