From Research to Reality: Accelerating the Global Bioeconomy
Across Europe, something fundamental is changing in the way we think about wastewater and organic waste. Utilities are rethinking the role of wastewater infrastructure. New technologies are moving towards commercial deployment. Demand for renewable resources is growing. Regulation is evolving. And new value chains are emerging between water, agriculture, energy and bio-based industries.
Could we be approaching the point where the circular bioeconomy moves from ambition and individual innovation to implementation at scale?
To explore that question, we asked three European utility leaders joining us at the WEX Global Bioeconomy Summit in Lisbon, 2–4 November, to share their perspectives on what is changing, where the opportunities lie and what still needs to happen.

From sharing pilot results to building international knowledge networks, the objective is clear:
Accelerate innovation. Strengthen the evidence. Turn research into implementation.
Because the next breakthrough matters.
But so does our ability to share it, prove it and scale it.
Research creates possibilities. Collaboration turns them into reality.
Read the perspectives of Peter, Mike and Jaroslav, explore the programme and discover the international community already joining us.
