EUBA welcomes the new updated Bioeconomy Strategy

Brussels, 28 November 2025 – The European Bioeconomy Alliance (EUBA)*, representing 16 prominent European organisations engaged across multiple sectors within the bioeconomy, welcome the renewed focus on the Bioeconomy Strategy at this pivotal time for Europe’s competitiveness and resilience.

A thriving bioeconomy is essential for the European Union’s transition away from reliance on fossil-based feedstocks and toward a circular, carbon-neutral economy.

We particularly welcome the Strategy’s recognition of the value contributed by all sectors of the bioeconomy – from primary production and natural resources to biotechnology, bio-based industries, and bioenergy sectors. This inclusive approach is essential to deliver sustainability, autonomy and jobs across the EU.

Nonetheless, the Strategy is only the starting point. Real impact depends on meaningful actions and consistent implementation. To safeguard the resilience and competitiveness of the EU bioeconomy, we must transform commitments into practical, measurable actions that enable every sector to reach its full potential.

We stand ready to closely work with the European Commission, the Member States and the European Parliament to put words into action.
By working together, we can speed up progress and help ensure the bioeconomy becomes a key driver of Europe’s future.
