Building the circular bioeconomy through innovative policy design and implementation
Construire la bioéconomie circulaire par la conception et la mise en œuvre de politiques innovantes

Panel Organized by: Genome Canada

Canada’s net-zero carbon transition hinges on the development of the circular bioeconomy, where biotechnology drives systems-level integration of all sectors towards a renewable, sustainable, and equitable future. Uptake of innovations is challenged by the perceived trade-offs between circularity and stakeholders’ bottom line. Coordination of research, innovation, commercialization, regulation, and policy is needed to overcome the economic headwinds impeding implementation and amplify the social and environmental tailwinds that promote it. This panel brings together academics, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss circular systems policy in Canada and uncover opportunities and solutions to drive the transition to a circular bioeconomy.
