📢 We are kicking off #CBESF2026 in Brussels.

Today’s discussions will focus on scaling #biobased innovation - from research to industrial deployment and market uptake.

Follow #CBESF2026 for updates throughout the day.

#CBESF2026 brought together stakeholders from across #Europe to discuss how #biobased innovation can move from research to industrial deployment.

📣Strong industrial ecosystems, support for demonstration plants, better access to finance and faster market uptake.

Young, bright talent is shaping Europe’s #bioeconomy 🌱

2025 #EUCYS bioeconomy prize winner Evita Mārtinsone visited Brussels to present her work on plant-based UV protection, meet EU institutions and showcase it at #CBESF2026.

🧪At #CBESF2026, James Morrison, Chair of the CBE JU Governing Board @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu, visited the EUCYS #bioeconomy prize winner Evita Mārtinsone to learn about her project.

For Evita, it’s a chance to discuss her research & see how ideas move from science to innovation policy.

What will it take to scale Europe’s bioeconomy? #CBESF2026 brought together around 400 participants from 40 countries to discuss how to move bio-based innovation from demonstration to industrial deployment.

⚙️ The challenge is no longer innovation. It is scaling.
