6 Regions, 1 goal

April 23, 2025

On April 15, an appreciated webinar was held as part of Biomodel4Regions, focusing on the experiences and insights from six pilot regions in Europe that have developed their own blueprints for a sustainable bioeconomy. 

During the webinar, participants were introduced to each region’s journey, from challenges to key success factors. With a particular emphasis on how their work can inspire and be transferred to other regions with similar geographical, climatic, and socio-economic conditions. The six pilot regions that presented were:

  • Normandy in France
  • The Delta Region in Southwest Netherlands
  • Nitra Region in Slovakia
  • Northern Sweden
  • Western Macedonia in Greece
  • Tuscany including the whole of Italy

A key conclusion shared across all regions was, in spite of all the different regional bio economies represented, all regions highlighted the importance of collaboration, communication, and competence in successfully transitioning to a circular and sustainable bioeconomy. These elements can be key drivers for boosting the bioeconomy, both at the local and EU level. 

The event highlighted the Biomodel4Regions project’s progress in fostering sustainable bioeconomy strategies. 

The webinar gathered over 70+ participants from around ten European countries — including stakeholders from the participating regions as well as from other parts of Europe. Attendees included bioeconomy actors, policymakers, and other engaged stakeholders.
