BIO.NRW presents the Home of Bioeconomy
BIO.NRW was an official partner of our 2022 event. As a local network, they used the motto “Home of Bioeconomy” to present the various players in North Rhine-Westphalia’s (NRW) biotechnology and bioeconomy scene, highlighting the diversity present in our federal state. A variety of formats, such as company presentations, workshops, and an exhibition, were available in one central location.
And that’s not all: entry to the event was free of charge, so come along to their networking area in 2023 and meet new contacts who could help you reach your sustainability goals.
