Description
The Bulgarian BIOEAST HUB, coordinated by the Agricultural Academy and supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, is among spearheading transformations in the country’s bioeconomy. By uniting policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and civil society, the HUB serves as a collaborative platform for advancing sustainable agricultural, aquaculture, and forestry practices. Its mission is to mobilize resources, drive innovation, and influence policy development, ensuring Bulgaria aligns with the European Union’s broader bioeconomic goals.
As part of the BIOEAST initiative, the HUB fosters knowledge exchange beyond national borders, aligning with the broader Central-Eastern European BIOEAST Initiative, cross-sector cooperation, and international collaboration to enhance development of Bulgaria’s bio-based economy. By developing strategic action plans and strengthening research capacities, it aims to create lasting impact beyond the project’s duration. Through activities like macro-regional workshops and the BIOEAST Annual Conferences, the Bulgarian HUB fosters a dynamic dialogue among researchers, policymakers, and industry experts. With a strong emphasis on market access, education, and capacity building, the HUB is a crucial player in Bulgaria’s transition towards a greener, more resilient economy.
