The 6th Innovation Meetup Bioeconomy was organised by the Innovation Center of the Banska Bystrica Self-Governing Region and the BioPark Slovakia Association. The event took place on 19 June at the Town Hall of Lucenec and it gathered the key actors of the innovation ecosystem in the Banska Bystrica region as well as other regions of Slovakia.

The goal of the event was to discuss the ongoing and planned initiatives in the bioeconomy and establish new connections in this field. Several invited start-ups/entrepreneurs/innovators presented their innovative activities, solutions or approaches that align with the principles of the circular bioeconomy. The details, activities and goals of the ROBIN project were presented by PEDAL there. High-level Slovak policy-makers including the Deputy Prime Minister of Slovakia Peter Kmec and the President of the Banska Bystrica Self-Governing Region Ondrej Lunter were informed about the ROBIN project and our vision to deploy circular bioeconomies at regional level with a territorial approach.
