This conference will look at the bioeconomy one year on from the launch of the EU's Bioeconomy Strategy in February 2012. It will be focusing on each of the different pillars of the bioeconomy strategy and action plan - i.e.:

• investing in research, innovation and skills;
• reinforced policy interaction and stakeholder engagement; and
• enhancement of markets and competitiveness in bioeconomy sectors

by debating on some concrete examples in plenary sessions.

During the conference, speakers will report on achievements - at EU, national, regional and local levels - with respect to the Action Plan and debate future prospects and opportunities for the EU Bioeconomy. The conference will provide a platform for informed and structured debate among a wide range of stakeholders using a series of key note speeches and panel discussions to illustrate the current situation and the issues at stake.
