Global Bioeconomy Summit 2026: Programme Overview
The Global Bioeconomy Summit (GBS) 2026 brings together international leaders, researchers, policymakers, industry innovators and civil society to explore how the bioeconomy can drive socio-economic transformation and climate action.
Across two days of plenary discussions, workshops and networking sessions, the programme highlights how bio-based innovation can move from discovery to real-world impact. Participants will explore successful examples of bioeconomy solutions, examine policies and investment frameworks needed to scale them, and discuss how biobased approaches can address interconnected global challenges such as climate change, food security and sustainable livelihoods.
The summit programme features sessions on innovation and scale-up in the bioeconomy, policy and market frameworks for growth, and global collaboration for sustainable development. It also provides a platform to showcase European and Irish bioeconomy strategies and their connections with international initiatives.
Looking ahead, the summit will culminate in a forward-looking dialogue on the Bioeconomy Vision 2040, outlining how bio-based systems can become a global norm—supporting resilient economies, restoring nature, and enabling a sustainable and inclusive future.
