It’s the perfect moment to reconnect and catch up! Our programme features inspiring entrepreneurs sharing their breakthroughs in the biobased market, while leading researchers take you on a journey through the latest biobased innovations. We’ll also help you navigate (new) regulations and the fragmented landscape of subsidies.

Be part of the leading event for entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, and researchers in green chemistry, circular materials, and biobased products. It’s going to be an inspiring day with plenty of opportunities to connect and network with other participants and speakers.

About the symposium

About

The Circular Biobased Products (CBP) Symposium is an annual event where we want to share relevant developments and research results from collaborative projects we have executed together with market stakeholders. But also to discuss the way forward; what are the next steps that are needed in the coming years to accelerate the building process of a truly circular and biobased economy and how we can all make an impact together. Many studies have already found their way to the market and got implemented, but new research and collaboration remains necessary to provide the functions in everyday life that we all like to have, without the burden on climate and environment.
