The pace at which bio-economy is happening is not balanced in Europe, with ‘moderate/modest innovator’ countries lagging behind. This may be the result of insufficient knowledge of the potential for the bio-based industry in these countries, including supportive mechanisms. But it also has to do with insufficient knowledge about these countries in the EU, as well as of policies that do not account for their specificity.
CELEBio provides information on the potentials and benefits of biobased activities available in Central Europe for the local economies, the environment and the society by: Mapping bio-based industries and value chains Determining sustainable biomass potentials Developing National Action Plans and dossiers Providing Inventories of bioeconomy stakeholders Organizing bioeconomy events and workshops
The Central Europe Leaders in Bioeconomy ( CELEBio ) is designed to facilitate the creation and expansion of industrial bio-based activities in six countries of Central, East and South East Europe with fact-based information, the elaboration of evidence-based Action Plans and networking.
