The ROBIN project organized a Stakeholder Engagement workshop on March 13th, titled “Exchange of Experiences in Circular Bioeconomy”, as part of the parallel side activities to the official agenda of the Transfiere Forum. The event brought together representatives from four Spanish regions: Andalusia, Castilla y León, Catalonia, and Madrid.

The session was moderated by Samir Sayadi, a researcher at IFAPA. Representatives from various Spanish regions shared practical cases of public-private collaboration in circular bioeconomy. With the participation of attendees, they applied the “canvas” tool from the Toolbox (a toolkit developed as part of the ROBIN project) to design a potential structure for public-private collaboration.

The workshop brought together representatives of the quadruple helix of the regional innovation ecosystem: government, businesses, academia, and society. Participants included representatives from agri-food and bioeconomy entities, consumers, universities, and public organizations, most of whom are members of the Andalusian MARC (Multi-Actor Regional Constellation) of the ROBIN project.
