EuropaBio and Smithers Rapra have captured the momentum of European Forum for Industrial Biotechnology (EFIB) 2012 and are now bringing you their biggest and most ambitious congress to date. Taking place from 30 September to 2

October at the prestigious SQUARE, Brussels, in

association with bio.be, EFIB 2013 has transformed

to become the premier marketplace for the

European biobased economy. The return

to Brussels represents an excellent

opportunity to increase engagement

between industry, policy makers and

stakeholders and aims to attract over

1,000 stakeholders from across the

biobased economy. This unmissable event

is a must for all those wanting to take part in

defining, developing and shaping this burgeoning

smart and sustainable sector.

Continuing its theme; business meets policy, this

year’s conference agenda brings together a host

of high-profile policy keynote speakers, industry’s

leading CEOs, finance and market analysts and

visionary innovators.

The success of constructing a dynamic and

competitive European biobased economy requires

the full support and engagement of EU and

national decision makers and continues to be

an important area for discussion. This

year, one key focus area will be the

Public Private Partnerships (PPP),

for biobased industries, developed

under the European Commission’s

new framework for Research

and Innovation, Horizon 2020.

This and other initiatives

have the potential to

help bridge the EU’s

innovation valley of

death between scientific excellence

and successful commercialisation

and uptake of sustainable biobased

products, processes and solutions. With

this in mind, the EFIB conference programme

brings together the thought leaders at the forefront

of this framework development from a broad range

of disciplines and sectors to discuss how these, and

other new measures will impact the European

biobased economy.

Join us this year for an insight into this

exciting and rapidly evolving landscape

and be part of the process of building

a stronger more sustainable biobased

economy.

Overview of the EFIB Theme: Business meets Policy

The business meets policy theme runs throughout

this year’s conference agenda, from the opening

plenary keynotes by Belgium’s Prime Minister,

Elio di Rupo, to the perspectives from European

Commission and Parliament decision makers, to

international policy perspectives from the Americas

and Asia. Insights from the worlds of finance and

technology will be provided through a track on

venture capital financing and the ever popular

innovation track, showcasing technology and

product breakthroughs in the biobased economy.

This year’s business meets policy debate

features leading CEOs and Managing

Board Members from Novozymes,

DSM and SME Proviron as well

as influential policymakers to

analyse whether the EU has

what it takes to make the

transition towards a biobased

economy.

“Great meeting opportunities”
