RISE on behalf of Nordic Forest Research (SNS) are coordinating the Nordic Council of ministers’ summarizing conference on the Bioeconomy Programme. Listen to keynote speakers such as Fredrik Karlström (Former Minister on Åland and entrepreneur), as well as multiple representatives within the Nordic bioeconomy who have contributed to the Bioeconomy Programme.

Together, we will build on recent work within the Bioeconomy Programme and provide input for future actions to develop the sector through inspiring keynotes and workshops throughout the day. We will engage in fruitful discussions on the future of the Nordic bioeconomy and provide input for future actions through workshops and keynotes.
