Stakeholder engagement is crucial for organisations to understand, address, and balance the interests and expectations of various stakeholders.

In this webinar titled Engaging stakeholders for the urban bioeconomy, on 30 May 2024 (10:00 – 11:00 CEST), HOOP experts will present strategies to help cities and regions engage stakeholders for the urban bioeconomy, and tools to bring citizens into the decision-making process.

Speakers:

• Felix Schumacher, CSCP
• Rosa Arias, Science for Change.

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.
