The RIBES project proudly participated in the International Forum on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioeconomy (IFIB 2025), held on 25–26 September at the Cavallerizza Reale in Turin.
As one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to the circular bioeconomy, IFIB brought together researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and investors from across the globe to discuss the latest trends in industrial biotechnology and bio-based innovation. The programme featured high-level debates, thematic sessions, and structured B2B matchmaking opportunities facilitated by the Enterprise Europe Network.
Within this vibrant forum, RIBES partners showcased how the project supports circular bioeconomy pathways in rural and peri-urban regions, emphasising inclusive governance models, sustainable business approaches, and community-driven innovation. Furthermore, participation in IFIB also allowed the consortium to strengthen synergies with other EU-funded projects and explore opportunities for scaling up impact.
By engaging in IFIB 2025, RIBES reaffirmed its commitment to bridging science, industry, and society to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and inclusive bioeconomy.
