Kick-Off Event: Circular Bioeconomy Cluster South-West
The business opportunity contributing to a sustainable South-West region
The transition to a circular bioeconomy opens up many commercial opportunities for enterprises across the South West. With climate action and waste plans in place to guide the market, the big question is how to unlock innovation and practices across industry? Where is there opportunity to create added value? And who’s leading the charge?
With an expected 1 million jobs to be created in the circular bioeconomy across Europe by 2030, there are significant growth opportunities for enterprises on the horizon particularly in the marine and waste-to-value sectors.
As part of MTU Innovation and Enterprise month, the newly established Circular Bioeconomy SW Cluster will host an event to raise awareness of commercial opportunities and supports available for enterprises. Join us and learn about this new initiative that will put the SW Region on the global map for ingenuity and sustainability.
