Holland Circular Hotspot’s Post

🎉 May is Europe Month ! In May, we celebrate the spirit of unity, cooperation and progress that drives the European Union forward. As an European project, we are grateful for the opportunities and benefits that EU membership brings. 💡 Our project is a perfect example of how working together and sharing knowledge can bring science and bioeconomy forward. Our team is made up of companies and experts from 4 different countries and backgrounds, all working towards a common goal: producing protein-rich ingredients at large scale with one the lowest environmental impacts possible. #EUMonth #Collaboration #Interculturality Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) Arbiom Fibenol Institut Lyfe (Ex-Institut Paul Bocuse) SAYENS Bel AGROMOUSQUETAIRES SOCIETE VITREENNE D'ABATTAGE JEAN ROZE biozoon GmbH NORMANDISE Pet Food BioMar Eurofins ifeu - Institut für Energie- und Umweltforschung Heidelberg gGmbH Bioeconomy For Change PNO Consultants France

Biobased industries and alternatives to fossil-based solutions are a developing fast and strongly. At the Biomodel4Regions Horizon Europe we are looking at pilot regions and best governance structures to support these ecosystems. Last week, I attended the consortium meeting to discuss progress and participated in Western Macedonia's workshop organized by CluBE-Cluster of Bioeconomy and Environment of Western Macedonia, addressing challenges and outlining next steps. Next up: HCH's workshop in Zeeland on June 26. Key stakeholders will contribute to the Delta Region's bioeconomy strategy. 🗓️ Contact me at heyd.mas@hollandcircularhotspot.nl if you're interested.

What does the youth want on the European bioeconomy? Well... they want change and they want it now. 🙌 We know because we asked them. This Monday, DI Bio hosted the youth conference "Bioeconomy Changemakers Festival", where we asked them exactly that - how should the future European bioeconomy look like. DI was appointed by the European Commission as the sole actor in Denmark to organize the Danish youth’s recommendations for the upcoming Commission, which takes office in 2025. More than 100 representatives from all areas of Danish youth work came together to recommend, how the EU can create a strong bioeconomy. And that we did. 👏 So what now? DI is delivering the recommendations to the EU, ensuring that the Danish youth’s voice is heard on the future of Europe. A warm shoutout to the Steering Committee consisting of Matilde Bondo Dydensborg, Wilhelm Ditlev Christian Thomsen, and Søren Bank for your time, dedication and leadership on executing this conference. Let's keep the momentum going. Recommendations are enclosed below - in Danish and in English. #dkpol #dkgreen #dkbio #biosolutions
