1st BioINSouth Forum

The 1st BioINSouth Forum will take place on 5–6 June 2025 at the University of Catania (Italy), as an official EU Green Week Partner Event. Organised under the EU-funded BioINSouth project and supported by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), the forum will bring together key stakeholders to accelerate regional collaboration and shape a sustainable bioeconomy in Southern Europe.

CTA will take part in the Forum both as a key partner in the BioINSouth project and through the active participation of its team. María García, Innovation Consultant at CTA and project manager of the BioINSouth project, will moderate the roundtable "The role of regions in implementing circular bioeconomy in Southern Europe", while Rafael Castillo, also Innovation Consultant at CTA, will join the roundtable "The circular bioeconomy builds bridges: the BioINSouth Initiative" as a representative of the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI).

This two-day event will offer a unique space for dialogue among experts from academia, industry, public authorities, and civil society to co-create a shared vision for circular, regional bioeconomy strategies that respond to environmental, social, and economic challenges.
