Seven higher education institutions composing the EBU (European Bioeconomy University) alliance, pooled their strengths to offer the best possible training in bioeconomy entrepreneurship.
The vision of FOEBE+ is to encompass all dimensions of the bioeconomy from a European common approach, by creating training programmes adapted to the needs of bioeconomy and developing its full potential. To do so, FOEBE+ fosters innovative pedagogical practices to equip bioeconomy professionals and students with sustainable entrepreneurial skills.
