The BIO-INSPIRE project strengthens regional bioeconomy ecosystems in countries across Eastern and Southeastern Europe.

To enhance innovation capacity and cross-regional cooperation, the project is launching a Teaming & Knowledge Exchange Open Call, offering cascade funding, study visits and collaboration opportunities.

Through these actions, BIO-INSPIRE supports solutions that improve resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and promote circular and regenerative bioeconomy practices, while helping regions better mobilise their local bio-based resources and innovation potential. 

The Open Call combines financial support with knowledge exchange and collaboration, helping stakeholders move from early-stage innovation to real-world application. The results of these exchanges will feed into BIO-INSPIRE's key outputs, which are designed to guide regions in mobilising investments, strengthening innovation ecosystems and scaling bio-based solutions. 

This webinar will explore the challenges and opportunities facing bioeconomy stakeholders in underrepresented regions and present the support mechanisms offered by BIO-INSPIRE. It will highlight how knowledge exchange and cross-regional collaboration (across areas such as agriculture and forestry, biowaste valorisation, bio-based products, digital tools and policy frameworks) can strengthen innovation capacity, share good practices and build lasting partnerships, accelerating the development and uptake of nature-positive solutions.

The webinar will take place at 12:00 - 13:30 CEST on 5 June. Registration.
