Six BBT webinars focus on inspirational front runners, entrepreneurs, case studies and approaches in the blue biotechnology sector. All webinars will focus on real-life experiences and showcase concrete applications and entrepreneurial examples of circular innovations in blue biotech. The role of women entrepreneurs in blue biotech will be highlighted, and one webinar will cover stories from European outermost regions, such as the Azores. If you want to know what it takes to develop a start-up/innovation, the obstacles and the pitfalls, and the inspirational element of going through it, register for this webinar and get to know inspiring people.
Event Overview:
What we choose to do with our time and labour is precious, and many of us aspire to contribute to the wellbeing of our local communities. With its focus on leveraging the potential of marine biological resources, blue biotech is especially well positioned to make a difference. Join us for the next installment of Transferring the Business Gene, the Blue Bio Techpreneurs webinar series, to learn how.
Discover blue biotech ventures acting as a positive force supporting economic development, environmental stewardship and and social cohesion. Hear the stories of those who are acting today for the future of coastal and insular communities and explore how blue careers can be catalysts for positive change.
