25.08.26 | Nexus Bioeconomy 
 

Global agriculture is shifting: "Farm to Fork" becomes "Farm to X". As industry, construction, and energy move away from fossil resources, demand for bio-based materials grows. At the same time, food security and climate resilience remain critical. The Nexus Bioeconomy event  will explore how to meet rising demand, boost biological production, and use resources more efficiently. Together, we’ll develop practical, collaborative solutions for the bioeconomy transition.

Join us for the second edition next year.

How can we successfully transition to a sustainable bioeconomy? That was the central question at our first flagship event, Nexus Bioeconomy, where leaders from politics, business, science, and the startup world gathered to explore one of today’s most pressing challenges: how can we build a resource-efficient economy that drives growth while serving both society and the planet? Throughout the day, participants experienced a rich mix of keynotes, panel discussions, and interactive sessions. The conversations went far beyond theory. They addressed concrete challenges of the transition towards a bio-based economy, from sustainable production processes to everyday applications.
