The organizations hosting the conference are not-for-profit and working to promote biotechnology throughout Europe, Asia and beyond. The European Federation of Biotechnology acts as the independent “Voice of Biotechnology in Europe”, promoting the safe, sustainable and beneficial use of fundamental research and innovation in life sciences. On the green side, its member activities focus on plant, food, agriculture and environmental biotechnology.

The event will explore the recent research on the circular bioeconomy in the following topics:
- carbon capture for energy, products and proteins
- from waste and wastewater to valuable products
- biotechnology to mitigate climate change and global warming
- towards a circular bioeconomy: progress and bottlenecks.
