About the CommBeBiz Award |
The CommBeBiz Award aims to showcase the most innovative ideas emerging from research projects in the bioeconomy sector. We are looking for ambitious ideas with the potential to address major challenges in the bioeconomy sector with clear business or social innovation potential - a unique value proposition clearly differentiated from alternatives already in the marketplace or public domain.
