Europe's competitiveness compass points to the biosociety

EU's aim for open strategic autonomy and a strong bioeconomy calls for ambitious science and maximising the value of sustainably sourced bio-based raw materials in all value chains. Achieving this will strengthen both the EU’s competitiveness and its comprehensive security. Developing and scaling up innovative technologies, products and services for domestic and global markets requires an environment that supports companies and benefits citizens. Building this innovation-friendly environment on excellent, ambitious science is essential to ensure a competitive and sustainable Europe. Recommendations by the Natural Resources Institute Finland 1. Increase the European competitiveness and crisis resilience by harnessing breakthrough technologies for biosociety 2. Strengthen the innovativeness of primary production – more value from biobased resources 3. Develop solutions for responsible and diversified use of natural resources
