Bio-based Plastics and Com­pos­ites, Biore­finer­ies and Indus­tri­al Bio­tech­no­logy — the High­lights from Europe

The 7^th Inter­na­tion­al Con­fer­ence on Bio-Based Mater­i­als aims to provide major play­ers from the European bio-based chem­ic­al, plastics and com­pos­ite indus­tries with an oppor­tun­ity to present and dis­cuss their latest devel­op­ments and strategies. Rep­res­ent­at­ives of polit­ic­al bod­ies and asso­ci­ations will also have a say along­side lead­ing com­pan­ies. For the first time, the con­fer­ence will fea­ture a third day ded­ic­ated to start-ups to put them in touch with investors and industry. One high­light of the con­fer­ence will be the present­a­tion of the first oper­a­tion­al European biore­finer­ies and a status report on indus­tri­al bio­tech­no­logy. It is one of the biggest con­fer­ences and provides, with more than 180 par­ti­cipants from all over the world and an exhib­i­tion, an excel­lent plat­form for net­work­ing!

The bio-based eco­nomy, and espe­cially the area of bio-based mater­i­als, is one of the key drivers of innov­at­ive and sus­tain­able devel­op­ment of the eco­nomy and industry as a whole. Bio-based plastics and their build­ing blocks are the true centre of atten­tion. More and more com­pan­ies are enter­ing this field, and Europe is one of the key regions — but it is under great pres­sure from Asia and North and South Amer­ica. The 7^th Inter­na­tion­al Con­fer­ence on Bio-Based Mater­i­als will present the lead­ing play­ers in this race to estab­lish a European bio-based eco­nomy for the future.
