The second edition of this high-level event will take place on March 24 in Brussels under the motto "Driving Impact: Bio-based innovation for a competitive, sustainable Europe"
Natac will participate in the second edition of the CBE JU Stakeholder Forum, one of the most important annual gatherings for the European bioeconomy community, to be held on March 24 in Brussels. This key event will bring together more than 400 stakeholders from the circular bio-based sector, including producers, industry leaders, policymakers, and researchers.
The company will share its experience as coordinator of one of Europe's flagship projects, SustaiNext, during the panel entitled "From lab to fab: enabling scale up of bio-based innovations." During this session, Natac's CEO, Antonio Delgado, will join other industry representatives to discuss what is needed to ensure a successful transition from laboratory research to industrial-scale demonstration, as well as the essential technical, regulatory, and systemic conditions required to make it happen.
The panel will also highlight how projects funded by CBE JU are supporting the scale-up and market deployment of innovative bio-based technologies.
In addition to its participation in the conference programme, Natac will be present in the exhibition area to showcase the progress of the SustaiNext project, whose ultimate goal is the construction of the world's most sustainable, innovative, and advanced botanical extracts biorefinery. At its stand, the company will present several examples of circular bio-based innovation developed within the framework of the project, including botanical extracts produced using advanced and sustainable technologies.
