Welcome to a seminar targeted to actors within forest-based bioeconomy. In the seminar we will discuss and develop visions together on what is the sustainability transition – what changes? How and when the change occurs? How does this affect companies?
The seminar will be organised by the BIOBM project funded by the Academy of Finland as a part of Biofuture2025 program. It is organised in cooperation with Unite flagship.
One day seminar is organised in Helsinki in Scandic Grand Central hotel, Vilhonkatu 13, Helsinki. The seminar will be partly in finnish, partly in english.
You can also attend the seminar online. After registration you will receive the Zoom-link via email.
