PLENARY SESSION 3: Supercharging the Bioeconomy: Policy, markets and metrics to scale biobased solutions
Plenary Scene-Setter
While many nations have bioeconomy strategies, few have set up the implementation plans necessary to mainstream and scale biobased solutions. This plenary addresses the "missing middle," examining policies that unlock finance and markets, attract investments and catalyse the biobased economy. By managing trade-offs like land use and equity, smart policy design converts high-level ambition into scalable, everyday reality and measurable impact.
“Ambition alone will not scale the bioeconomy. Smart policy, investment and functioning markets are essential to bridge the gap between innovation and deployment and bring biobased solutions into everyday economies.”
