Ensuring food security
Managing natural resources sustainably/biodiversity
Reducing dependence on non-renewable resources
Mitigating and adapting to climate change/GHG emissions
Creating jobs and maintaining European competitiveness
Context: the Bioeconomy and the Societal Challenges (EC bioeconomy Strategy, 2012)
objectives are interconnected
Aim strategy: long term
sustainability
Context: RIS3/regional policy
• Regional development
• Smart specialization
• Use regional characteristics
• Clusters and cluster initiatives
• Triple helix
• Entrepreneurial discovery process
• Process of regional profiling
Context: bioeconomy as engine of economic growth in EU regions
Transition from fossil based to biobased economy is complex
Has a long run time horizon
How to achieve the implementation of the bioeconomy?

Objectives of BERST project
Exploring the bioeoconomy potential of EU regions by focusing on the following questions:
- What is the current bioeconomy
potential of EU regions?
- What is the future bioeconomy
potential of EU regions?
- How to close the gap between
current and future bioeconomy
potential of EU regions?
- How to develop smart
strategies for regional
bioeconomies in EU?

Block 5: Network and Alignment
Internal focus: • community of Practice - interactive process approaches • dynamic learning agenda • exchange between science and regional practise • exchange among BERST partner regions External focus: • exchange to and engage other regions • connection to platforms and other networks (CoR, Errin,
Climate KIC) • being helpful to non-BERST regions
