Connecting with the European bio-based community
ECOFUNC was present at the CBE JU Networking Event 2026 in Brussels, a key gathering for projects, organisations and stakeholders working across the bio-based and circular economy landscape.
The event created a valuable space to exchange ideas, present ongoing activities and explore how different initiatives can work together to support the development and uptake of sustainable bio-based solutions.
Bringing ECOFUNC into the European bioeconomy dialogue
During the event, VestaEco presented ECOFUNC to key stakeholders, introducing the project’s ambitions and approach to accelerating sustainable, bio-based solutions.
The presentation helped position ECOFUNC within the wider European bioeconomy ecosystem, showing how the project contributes to the transition towards more circular value chains and practical industry deployment.
Alongside the project presentation, UNIMOS Alliance focused on networking and building new connections with organisations active in bio-based innovation, circular materials and industrial implementation.
The event also created an opportunity to discuss the ECOFUNC Stakeholder Network with potential new members interested in staying connected with the project and exploring future synergies.
Strengthening the path from innovation to uptake
Participation in the CBE JU Networking Event 2026 underlines ECOFUNC’s commitment to active dissemination, collaboration and ecosystem building.
For innovative bio-based solutions to move closer to real-world use, strong connections between projects, industry, researchers and wider stakeholders are essential. Events like this help create the right conditions for dialogue, visibility and future cooperation.
Building synergies beyond the project
ECOFUNC welcomes exchange with organisations working on bio-based innovation, circular value chains and industry deployment.
By taking part in European networking events, the project continues to build bridges with the wider community and strengthen its role in supporting sustainable, functional and market-relevant bio-based solutions.
