This report explores ways to boost stakeholder engagement in EU bioeconomy policy, a crucial step in shaping a sustainable and circular economy. 

After identifying key gaps and opportunities, the study proposes seven recommendations to enhance stakeholder involvement, such as setting up an EU Bioeconomy Stakeholder Platform and a Bioeconomy Youth Forum. This will enable the EU to ensure that its bioeconomy policy is more inclusive, effective and responsive to the needs of all stakeholders.

The report sets out four case studies of successful stakeholder engagement initiatives. This includes the ECESP, which is described as having been highly successful in achieving its objectives and having inspired the establishment of similar platforms in other regions.
