World BioEconomy Forum: Major Opportunities for the Pulp and Paper Industries, Paper360º March/April 2019
The first World BioEconomy Forum kicked off in Ruka, Finland, to highlight the emergence of the bioeconomy as a major and growing sector on the global industrial landscape.
Ruka, in Finland’s Lapland region, was the perfect location to host the first World BioEconomy Forum; the conference center is set on a hill overlooking some of Finland’s pristine wilderness. In fact, the theme of the event was “The Bioeconomy Celebrates Nature,” and the conference content was very much geared to how bio-based industries can work hand-in-hand with nature by managing natural resources and making sure biodiversity is included in everything we do as industry players.
Finland was also the perfect nation to be hosting the event—the country is being seen as something of a hot spot for bio-industry investment. Jukka Kantola, founder of the World BioEconomy Forum and chairman of the advisory board, said in the opening speech, “It was just over a year ago when the foundation for the World BioEconomy Forum was laid down. Members of the Finnish parliament and forward-thinking bio-industry stakeholders visited Ruka, and it was established that there was a need for an international economic forum—much like Davos in Switzerland every year—however, focused on the bioeconomy.
