Marine Bioeconomy Forum.

EASME wishes to enter into a service contract to set up a ‘Blue Bioeconomy Forum’ that will bring together a partnership of industry, public authorities, academia, and finance in order to strengthen Europe's competitive position in the emerging blue bioeconomy. The aim of the forum will be to develop a shared understanding of the current status of the emerging blue bioeconomy in Europe and to collectively identify strategic developments, market opportunities, appropriate financial assistance, regulatory actions and research priorities to advance the blue bioeconomy in Europe. The forum shall also seek to exploit synergies between blue bioeconomy sectors which can benefit from the innovative and optimal uses of aquatic biomass by sourcing biomass for a particular purpose (e.g. to make animal feed) but especially by valorising and using the remainder for other applications (e.g. cosmetics).
