The Commission plans to use the revised strategy to create targeted framework conditions that strengthen research and development, promote start-ups and SMEs and enable new business models along bio-based value chains. The aim is to achieve a balance between ecological resilience, economic competitiveness and social participation. Interfaces with the circular economy, agriculture and forestry as well as industrial transformation also play an important role here. Stakeholders from research, industry, agriculture, environmental organisations and interested members of the public can take part in the consultation. The contributions will be incorporated into the planned update of the bioeconomy strategy. This will be closely coordinated with other political priorities such as the Green Deal, the industrial plan for Net Zero and the chemicals strategy. Participation takes place via the EU Commission's online portal.
