During the conference, project partners—including research institutes, universities, agricultural chambers and public administration bodies, presented the results achieved and discussed the future opportunities of the bioeconomy in the Central and Eastern European macroregion. The event placed special emphasis on strengthening regional business cooperation, the role of public policy, raising societal awareness, and the practical implementation of sustainable resource management.
One of the most significant outcomes of the BIOECO-UP project is the knowledge transfer and exchange of best practices among the participating regions, as well as networking activities that can contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of local economies and support the planning of the future Common Agricultural Policy. The project results presented at the conference highlighted that the bioeconomy holds substantial potential not only from an environmental perspective but also in economic and social terms.
Participants agreed that building on the project’s achievements, further cooperation and new forms of collaboration are needed, particularly in the fields of industry, agriculture, and research and development. The final conference not only provided an opportunity to summarize the work completed so far but also created space for launching new partnerships and future initiatives.
