It compiles the currently existing regional bioeconomy strategies at various levels of regional classification.

Overall, there are 359 bioeconomy-relevant strategies at regional level in the EU. Of those, 334 frameworks are published in the form of documents such as strategies, action plans, roadmaps, and the rest are under development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/embed_large\/public\/2022-10\/Map1_Overview_strategie.jpg?itok=ZCnX0Ak5\" alt=\"EU map illustrating the presence of bioeconomy strategies\"\/><figcaption>Some regions have multiple strategies related to the bioeconomy.

First, if the country is large and decentralised, it is likely that strategies related to the bioeconomy exist at regional level. Second, where a strategy for bioeconomy exists at national level, it can also apply to regional and local action and so, consequently, there may be fewer (dedicated) strategies at regional level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, bioeconomy at sub-national level may be predominantly embedded in wider strategic frameworks. However, even if a national strategy exists, there may still be regional frameworks to further specify actions and to focus on the specificities of the regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu\/repository\/handle\/JRC128740\">Bioeconomy strategy development in EU regions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/data.jrc.ec.europa.eu\/dataset\/a89482ff-83af-4c82-96ef-39b0a59eb345\">An underlying dataset complementing the study<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge4policy.ec.europa.eu\/bioeconomy_en\">Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge4policy.ec.europa.eu\/visualisation\/bioeconomy-different-countries_en#regionalstrategies\">An interactive Bioeconomy country dashboard<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu\/news\/all-research-and-innovation-news\/adoption-bioeconomy-strategy-progress-report-2022-06-09_en\">Bioeconomy Strategy Progress Report 2022\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu\/research-area\/environment\/bioeconomy\/bioeconomy-strategy_en\">EU bioeconomy strategy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mapping and analysis undertaken for the Commission\u2019s Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy shows there\u2019s a growing number of regional bioeconomy strategies, fully focused or relevant for the bioeconomy.
