From residue to revenue - Scaling up bio-solutions

In this event we put focus on the challenges of scaling up biorefinery solutions - from technology to financing. This is the final event of the Pro-Enrich project.

The focus of this event is on how to scale up biorefinery solutions - from technological challenges to financial ones and how to overcome them. It will be a hybrid event with the opportunity to participate physically in Copenhagen if possible or watch it via livestream.
