The World Bioeconomy Roundtable – Copenhagen 2025 is a high-level, invitation-only dialogue convening global leaders in business, finance, and policy to shape the future of the circular bioeconomy. Anchored in the strategic timing of Denmark’s EU Presidency and the launch of the updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy, the event will provide a platform for catalytic thinking and action.
The World Bioeconomy Roundtable – Copenhagen 2025 is a high-level, invitation-only event organised by the World Bioeconomy Association (WBA) in collaboration with DI Biosolutions, the European Biosolutions Coalition, and in conjunction with the Danish EU Council Presidency.
The World BioEconomy Roundtable 2025 in Copenhagen brought together leaders from industry, finance, policy, and science to accelerate the bioeconomy’s role in climate action, biodiversity protection, resilient value chains, and sustainable growth.
The Declaration reflects a shift from political recognition to implementation, building on momentum from COP30 and the G20 High-Level Principles on Bioeconomy. It highlights Europe’s strong capabilities in research, industry, and innovation, while stressing the need for clear policies, scalable finance, integrated value chains, skills development, and cross-sector collaboration.
It also underscores the importance of global partnerships — including the Bioeconomy Challenge — and the combination of traditional knowledge with modern science. Participants provide focused recommendations for EU policymakers to support scale-up and international alignment.
