As a core partner at the “BIO stage” during the People’s Meeting (Folkemødet), we’ve showcased the transformative power of biosolutions to a wide range of stakeholders, enhancing public awareness and support for sustainable practices.

Pioneering high-level discussions

We initiated the first-ever Biosolutions High-Level Summit in 2023, themed “Towards a Sustainable Future with Solutions from Nature.” This summit brought together global leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss the role of biosolutions in tackling climate challenges, setting the stage for continued dialogue and action.

Our members are driving real change with innovative solutions that make a measurable difference.
