On 17 June, the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) held its inaugural cluster workshop, bringing together more than 30 Horizon Europe-funded projects to exchange insights and explore opportunities for collaboration in the field of bio-based materials for agriculture and packaging.
The event gathered over 60 participants, including representatives from the European Commission, the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), and other stakeholders from the bioeconomy sector.
