About the Event
How can local industries, rural communities, and urban stakeholders unlock the hidden value in biobased side and waste streams?
TREASoURcE project partners from Finland, Norway, and Estonia, along with co-organizer Impact Hub Berlin, warmly invite local stakeholders in Germany to a full-day interactive workshop and roundtable discussion. Together, we will explore practical circular economy models, digital solutions, and sustainability tools that can accelerate the transition to a resource-smart future.

-
Rural-urban symbiosis opportunities
-
Local bioeconomy models
-
Digital marketplaces for biobased streams

Through case study presentations, group work, and networking, participants will gain insights and contribute to shaping feasible pathways for scaling bio-based circular practices.
