BIOSTARS project

The BIOSTARS project, "Systemic circular bio-economy solutions to support start-up and social driven innovation in rural areas", is an initiative co-funded by the EU Interreg Euro-MED programme to foster the development of bioeconomy start-up villages in rural Mediterranean areas. The project, which brings together 9 partners and 10 associated entities, is based on the promotion of circular and bio-based solutions to create an enabling environment for employment generation, service provision, and talent retention in rural communities. By encouraging a resource-efficient economy, BIOSTARS contributes to preserving biodiversity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Framed within the Innovative Sustainable Economy Mission of Interreg Euro-MED, the project will seek to generate sustainable economic opportunities in rural areas across the Mediterranean.
