The Agricultural University- Plovdiv will host an international high-level conference to launch the "Regional Innovation Valleys for Bioeconomy and Food Systems". The Regional Innovation Valleys for Bioeconomy and Food Systems will contribute to the
New European Innovation Agenda and its flagship action in building 100
Regional Innovation Valleys. The concept of Regional Innovation Valleys for Bioeconomy and Food Systems, developed by the European Commission in cooperation with the Member States, have significant potential to support and accelerate the deployment of the bioeconomy in regions where people live and work. They also address the innovation gap within the EU, with a particular attention to
countries from Central and Eastern Europe.
