The BioRural project proudly announces the BioRural EU Bioeconomy Challenge Final, a milestone event that will take place on May 12th, 2025, at Mundo Madou, Brussels, and online!
Following a series of four regional workshops across Europe in late 2024, twelve outstanding bio-based solutions have been selected to compete in this highly anticipated event.
The Challenge Final celebrates the outcomes of BioRural’s collaborative efforts to identify and support rural innovators working at the intersection of sustainability and entrepreneurship. The regional workshops brought forward pioneering ideas in areas such as circular food production, sustainable textiles, bio-based packaging, natural food additives, renewable energy, and biodegradable materials.
By combining local knowledge with innovative thinking, participants refined solutions that not only address pressing environmental challenges but also demonstrate strong market potential and scalability.
What to Expect:
- Inspiring talks and presentation of the BioRural project
- Pitching sessions featuring the 12 selected ideas from our regional workshops
- Opportunities to network with innovators, investors, and policy makers
