In May, Circular Biobased Delta joined a matchmaking event dealing with Innovation collaboration, within the chemical industry in the trilateral region. There, it was possible to introduce the Biomodel4Regions project to many interested stakeholders.
On May 31 2023 the Rural Bioeconomy Alliance (RBA) was launched during the COOPID final event. COOPIDs final event was about to present the projects results after 2,5 years of work. Biomodel4Regions was presented in this framework. By collaborating within the RBA, we can accelerate the development of circular rural bioeconomy initiatives in the EU and pave the way for a sustainable future.
CBBD joined the World Bio Market Conference, spreading the voice about the Biomodel4Regions project. World Bio Markets is the leading international business event for the global bioeconomy community, connecting over 350 industry leaders with a two-day programme of knowledge exchange, 1-2-1 meetings, and networking.
The two-day event connects and generates deal flow between bio developers and producers, global brands and buyers, investors and financiers, suppliers and community enablers.
The project partner Circular Biobased Delta joined the Circular Industry Day, powered by North Sea Port & Smart Delta Resources at Vlissingen, in May 2023. The conference was attended by many stakeholders active in the circular bioeconomy sector, and the project was introduced to many visitors during relevant discussions.
The Renewable Materials Conference, will take 23-25 May in Siegburg/Cologne (Germany) promises, and it will provide a platform for showcasing the impressive achievements in the field of renewable materials. The conference will bring together experts, stakeholders, and industry leaders to discuss latest developments and share their visions and strategies for the future. CBBD will join the conference and spread the news about the BIOMODEL4REGIONS project.
Biomodel4Regions keeps attending international conferences to spread information about the project and building the network. In April, 18th to 20th, the project joins the Waste Management Europe Conference and Exhibition.
The project lead partner Ciao Tech attends the Waste Management Europe Conference and Exhibition, this year held in Bergamo, Italy, with a stand where the project are presented together with several other projects.
And in addition to poster presentation and dissemination and communication material the project was part of an oral presentation of the projects.
If you want to visit the Ciao Tech stand the number is 128.

The Swedish Bioeconomy Parliament is an annual national conference that gathers relevant and important stakeholders within the field of bioeconomy. This year the conference was held in Umeå and a number of important stakeholders attended. And as an arranger of the event BioFuel Region was able to arrange a meeting with national bioeconomy strategist and national government representatives for a dialogue regarding what topics are relevant.
In connection with the Swedish Bioeconomy Parliament BioFuel Region was able to gather several of the regional bioeconomy strategist in Sweden as well as two representatives for a national investigation about the bioeconomy strategy commissioned by the government and will result in a report.
To be able to gather a number of high-level key stakeholder is an incredible opportunity and resource, says Magnus Matisons, project leader BioFuel Region. This gives a golden opportunity to learn more about the government perspective on these questions as well as feed relevant feedback to both the regions and the government investigators.
This type of possibility for networking both transregional and on national level is central for the progression of government development in line with what BIOMODEL4REGIONS amies to achieve. And by taking the initiative and facilitate this BioFuel Region has established an important network for the future work in the project.
In the framework of the project, the BIOMODER4REGIONS partners SPRING, APRE, ICLEI and Wageningen University realised, in Florence 21 February 2023, an onsite co-creation workshop to discuss with the regional stakeholders issues related to local biobased products, services and initiatives and bioeconomy governance models in Tuscany.
The workshop was organised within a series of co-creation events that were already successfully carried out in February in an online form with the other project’s Pilot Regions in Greece, the Netherlands, Slovakia, France and Sweden.
During the first part of the session, moderated by APRE and supported by the Wageningen University, the local stakeholders had the chance to share their feedback and experience related to the state-of-the-art of the regional bioeconomy, drivers and barriers for the development of local bio-based products and services, positive and negative consequences of realistaion of such products and services, and bioeconomy-related initiatives currently present in Tuscany. The input received from the stakeholders will feed the development of the conceptual business model framework that will be subsequently used by the Pilot Regions to establish their regional bio-based economy strategies blueprints.
The second session led by ICLEI focused on the stakeholders’ evaluation of a local bioeconomy governance model developed by ICLEI that will be further updated and completed thanks to the feedback received from the stakeholders and, in the longer perspective, will allow to analyse the actual governance system, practices and related policies in the Tuscany region.
BIOMODEL4REGIONS was represented by our partner Bioeconomy Cluster from Slovakia at the Living Conuntry 2023 conference. The conference was held in Prague (Czech Republic) on January 31st 2023.
The conference was the most important event on regenerative farming in the Czech Republic. The speakers were researchers and experts on soil, farmers from practice as well as policy makers who led interesting presentations and panel discussions on how profitable and environmentally beneficial regenerative agriculture is.
BIOMODEL4REGIONS was presented with the poster and the Bioeconomy Cluster took the conference as an opportunity to spread information about the project, as well as a space for networking with people from the Slovak pilot region, since the conference was attended by some stakeholders who had already joined the project, as well as the target group of consumers.

In this the first newsletter from the BIOMODEL4REGIONS project you will get introduced the all the partners in the project, what expertise the contribute with, and what role they have in the project.
The BIOMODEL4REGIONS project aims to support the establishment of the innovative governance models at local/regional level to achieve better informed decision-making processes, social engagement and innovation to support and strengthen EU and international science-policy interfaces to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The methodology is based on the set-up of a governance structure among bioeconomy clusters that will leverage on previous successful projects, initiatives and best practices to capitalise on work performed through several years of research and studies in the field of bioeconomy. These results will be demonstrated within the project to support 6 pilot regions chosen in clusters’ network.
