The European Commission has just launched a public consultation on the future EU Bioeconomy Strategy. This is a significant step forward in harnessing the opportunities of the bioeconomy to support European businesses and drive progress towards the EU’s environmental, climate and competitiveness objectives.

The new Bioeconomy Strategy, due for adoption by the end of 2025, aims to advance innovation and maintain the EU's leadership in the bioeconomy. It will propose measures to unlock the potential of bioeconomy innovations, so that they can reach the market and generate green jobs and growth.

The strategy will also focus on reinforcing circularity and sustainability, while contributing to the decarbonisation of the EU economy. It will set the framework conditions to enable bioeconomy startups, entrepreneurs and new business models to thrive. 

The Commission would like to hear your views on this matter. The call for evidence will be open until 23 June.
