More about previous IFIB forums

IFIB 2024

Cluster SPRING and Innovhub-SSI organised the 14th edition of IFIB - International Forum on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioeconomy, aimed at strengthening the bioeconomy network in the Euro-Mediterranean area and to promote partnerships.

The topic of the Forum is circular bioeconomy, with particular attention to industrial biotechnology as Key Enabling Technology. 2024 edition had a specific focus on biotech solutions applied in the agrofood sectors. The Italian food valley became the world center of gravity of bioeconomy.

IFIB 2023

Florence was the capital of the circular bioeconomy from 27 to 29 September 2023.

With over 250 delegates from around 25 countries, the forum once again proved to be a leading global event, thanks in part to the collaboration with the Italian Trade Agency.

Business and policy leaders shared insights on strengthening biobased value chains to foster smarter, sustainable production, job creation, and economic growth. The program featured engaging presentations, thematic sessions, and round tables on Fashion and Textiles, Value Chains, Biocities and Bioregions, and Measuring the Bioeconomy.
