Circular Bioeconomy Innovation Exchange: Focus on Marine Sector

The Circular Bioeconomy Innovation Exchange Series shines a light on entrepreneurs and leaders who are addressing complex sustainability challenges and building innovative circular and bio-based products, businesses and value chains within a regional context.

Marine Bioeconomy

Ireland’s marine biomass provides opportunities for developing new sustainable bioeconomy value chains, benefiting both rural and coastal communities.

An array of Irish based companies are utilising and transforming aquatic biomass and seafood by-product waste into value added circular and bio-based offerings for the commercial market ranging from animal feed, cosmetics to nutraceuticals.

Hear from marine entrepreneurs and project leaders as they share their approach, reflect on their experience in setting up a new bio-based business and how they established a route-to-market, and the benefits of new products and innovations.
