The Roundtable is organized as part of the EU-BBI funded project FRACTION; www.fraction-project.eu.
The aim of the project is to develop a catalytic pathway to valorize
biomasses from forests and agriculture to produce compounds that can be
used for construction materials, paper and cardboard, bio-plastic and,
fine chemicals including food ingredients. The purpose of the
international Roundtable is to encourage discussions and knowledge
sharing about bioeconomy, connecting research with industry, promote
innovation, and discuss pathways for enabling bioeconomy with a focus on
the Basque region and Spain. This way, the event will support the
exploitation work in the FRACTION project.
The
Roundtable will address challenges and opportunities for taking new
technology from research to industry with special attention to
fractionation technology, lignocellulosic biomasses, and applications To
better understand how to bridge the gap from research to uptake of new
technologies, the Roundtable will bring together stakeholders from
industry, technology providers, researchers, and other bodies that may
play a role for uptake of new technologies in the North Spanish
bioeconomy.
The Roundtable will feature keynote
speakers and provides room for discussion with stakeholders involved in
the North Spanish bioeconomy. By attending the event, you have an
opportunity to participate in the European dialogue to promote the
transition to a bioeconomy, and to extend your network to Spanish and
European stakeholders. Please register before Nov 24, 2023,
here. The event is free of charge.
