Insects for a Circular Future
The circular economy is becoming increasingly important, and insects play a key role in this transformation. The two Interreg projects Realise-Bio and Agropole Innovates warmly invite you to this exciting webinar. Discover how insects provide innovative solutions to use resources more efficiently and transform side streams into high-value products. Experts from practice and research will demonstrate how these approaches not only offer ecological benefits but also create new economic opportunities. You will gain valuable insights into the use of insects and their by-products for animal feed, fertilizers, and other applications. In addition, you will learn how education and knowledge transfer are essential drivers for fostering innovation in this dynamic and rapidly growing sector.
