BRILIAN at the Biocircular Summit: Driving Circular Innovation in the Primary and Secondary Sectors

febrero 11, 2025 admin Comments Off

The BRILIAN Project has participated today at the BioCircular SUMMIT, Spain’s leading event on biocircularity, which brought together key stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities of circular business models in the primary and secondary sectors.

Key Takeaways from the Roundtable on Biocircularity

One of the most crucial discussions of the event revolved around the need for a stronger integration of primary and secondary sector stakeholders—farmers, livestock breeders, and agro-industries—into the bioeconomy. As highlighted by experts, rural communities often perceive the bioeconomy through a political rather than technical lens, which underscores the need for better communication strategies to bridge this gap.

Another major challenge discussed was the difficulty of transforming innovation into market-ready solutions. There is a growing need to foster synergies between primary and secondary sectors to support the scalability of new technologies and enhance profitability through circular approaches in agro-food processes.

The BioCircular SUMMIT: A Key Platform for Circular Bioeconomy Strategies

The Biocircular SUMMIT serves as a central forum in Spain for exploring national and European policies related to biocircularity, including regulations on renewable energy, sustainable fuels, circular economy, waste valorisation, and bio-based industries. The event also provides a space for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration to advance sustainable, profitable, and resilient business models.

Additionally, the summit hosted the inaugural State Biocircularity Awards, recognising organisations and individuals who are leading the transition toward a more sustainable and circular economy.

BRILIAN’s Commitment to a Circular Future

As a project dedicated to promoting biocircularity and sustainability in rural areas, BRILIAN remains committed to supporting the transition towards circular and resilient business models. Engaging in discussions like these is essential to ensuring that primary and secondary sector actors play a central role in shaping the future of the European bioeconomy.
