1-3:30pm roundtable discussion organised by SEDA Land. (Online tickets only)
This event is free.
This is the third event SEDA Land has held about bioproducts following our introductory events "Imagining Bioproducts" and “Reimagining Food” both of which were held in June 2022.
“Imagining a Fossil-Fuel-Free Future” is a roundtable discussion with the aim of identifying the obstacles facing bioeconomy start-ups in Scotland and how these might be overcome, with particular reference to Scottish Government policy and incentives. We will hear from successful bioeconomy players as – in areas including fuels, plastics, textiles, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals – well as new start-ups (even ones that are considering relocating to the EU), and learn how the Republic of Ireland and Scandinavia are leading the way in terms of policy. We will also be covering the value chains a bioeconomy can bring including well paid jobs in rural areas,
