bioeconomy value-chains

Engage4BIO will strengthen circular, sustainable bioeconomy and sustainable regional development through processes of design thinking, co-creation, (re)training and skills development.
The regional bio-based systems focus on the five major value chains: namely circular and bio-based textiles (NL), agriculture and agro-food industries (HU), wood and interior (AT), bio-based and sustainable packaging (FI) and blue bioeconomy (IT).
The embedding art and design in the activities will boost the uptake to strengthen local governance feedback loops and respective governance models, to increase design thinking and co-create formats fortraining, retraining, mentoring and skills development and transfer fostering understanding and engagement in bio-based systems and to co-create communication and awareness campaigns. Engage4BIO framework will be designed in a transferable way, considering regional, natural and cultural differences and will be applicable in different European regions.
