On 5 June 2025, during the first strategic session focused on “Strengths, Weaknesses, Challenges, and Opportunities of the Lithuanian Bioeconomy System, and Its Probable and Desirable Visions for 2040”, a Memorandum of Cooperation of the Lithuanian Bioeconomy HUB was signed.
The memorandum was signed by the HUB coordinator – VMU Agriculture Academy – along with three co-founding partners: the Lithuanian Food Exporters Association, the Centre of Excellence Forest 4.0, and the Association LithuaniaBIO.
LithuaniaBIO will represent the advanced bio-based materials and products sector within the HUB — a crucial part of Lithuania’s developing bioeconomy.
The Lithuanian Bioeconomy HUB is envisioned as a central platform for systematic, cross-sectoral dialogue. It brings together Lithuanian stakeholders – including ministries, policymakers, scientists, business representatives, and the general public – as well as international partners such as other BIOEAST HUBs, EU institutions, and relevant transnational actors. Its purpose is to coordinate efforts that strengthen the sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness of Lithuania’s bioeconomy.
The HUB seeks to foster an enabling environment for the growth and development of bioeconomy-related sectors. It promotes open innovation, strategic planning, and action, integrating sustainable raw material production, the development of innovative technologies, and climate change mitigation.
