MainstreamBIO’s 1st Scale-Up Workshop in Plovdiv Sparks Innovation and Collaboration
On September 19th, 2024, MainstreamBIO held its first scale-up workshop in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. This event marked a significant milestone for the project, as local stakeholders came together to discuss and explore the future of bioeconomy solutions in the region.
Prof. Popov kicked off the workshop by presenting an overview of MainstreamBIO’s vision and objectives. His presentation highlighted the project’s innovative approach to engaging local stakeholders through the multi-actor innovation platform and the multi-actor partnership. A framework encouraging collaboration across various sectors, ensuring that the project’s activities are grounded in the specific needs and capabilities of the regional bioeconomy ecosystem.
The main theme of the workshop was the process of scaling up the bio-based solutions provided by MainstreamBIO. Participants were introduced to a sustainable business model that could be effectively adopted by local businesses. Key figures, including the Governor of Plovdiv, the Manager of the Trakya Economic Zone, and the Manager of the Regional Hub for Bioeconomy, took the lead in promoting this model, demonstrating their commitment to advancing the bioeconomy in Bulgaria.
The event was highly interactive, with a fruitful brainstorming session that fostered deep discussions among attendees.
