“The question is no longer whether the bioeconomy is a promising way forward. It is. The question now is whether Europe is ready to make it a strategic priority.”
This sentence is a good illustration of the position of Virginie Lutrot, President of Caux Seine agglo, and Frederic van Gansberghe, CEO of FUTERRO, on how bioeconomy is a strategic bet for Europe. It is essential not only for environmental sustainability but also for enhancing industrial sovereignty and job creation.
Building a future in Europe based on resilient technologies and industries, with the ambition of creating a truly virtuous ecosystem, is possible. Territories like Caux Seine agglo, where Futerro has chosen to implement its future biorefinery, exemplify this vision.
But now, it is time to define a coherent industrial policy for bioeconomy at the European level. And we cannot afford to miss this crucial opportunity.
