Bioeconomy Changemakers Festival 2024 - Let's review it together

For a future in Europe, we need young people above all - at all levels. For the bioeconomy in the Rhenish coal exit region, we want to actively involve young people in realising the potential of the bioeconomy.

We were one of over 30 regions from all over Europe to take part in the European Commission's first Bioeconomy Changemakers Festival. During our tour, the young people gave us recommendations for action for stakeholders from politics, business, science and regional development, which we are working on implementing every day.
