The European Project P2P finBIO celebrated its fourth workshop in Portugal to continue working in a guide of good practices and funding instruments of the national and European scene for the agri-food and bioeconomy sectors. The 5 European bio-based clusters that conform the project consortium met on a workshop focused on providing the opportunity to learn about strategies and mechanisms to support entrepreneurship in metropolitan, urban and rural environments, among others.
The meeting was organised by Bioeconomy Association BLC3 – Technology and Innovation Campus, the Portuguese bioeconomy cluster, a non-profit association integrated by 55 entities from 9 European countries and more than 115 researchers and scientists of excellence, focusing on the transfer of knowledge to the market and industrialisation.
The project has already conducted three workshops in Denmark, Spain and France. The next and last will be held in The Netherlands in May.
During the two-day workshop the consortium also visited the Science and Technology Park of University of Porto and the Instituto Pedro Nunes in Coimbra.
