CBE JU Stakeholder Forum 2026

The CBE JU Stakeholder Forum 2026 will bring together leading figures from politics, industry, research, finance and the bioeconomy community in Brussels in March 2026. The aim of the event is to discuss how bioeconomic innovations in Europe can be successfully scaled up and developed into competitive industrial solutions.

Against the backdrop of new European framework conditions – including the upcoming EU bioeconomy strategy and initiatives such as the Biotech and Biomanufacturing Act – the focus is on how promising technologies can be brought to market more quickly and how long-term economic and social added value can be created.

The programme includes a high-level opening session on European competitiveness and industrial leadership, in-depth sessions on topics such as scaling, market launch and financing, and an exhibition of projects funded by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking. The event also offers numerous opportunities for exchange and networking, including an evening reception.

The forum is aimed at industry representatives, policy makers, regional authorities, innovators, investors and members of the European bioeconomy community, offering a platform to shape Europe's bio-based future together.
