Rooted Bioeconomy: Science, Territory, and Reciprocity

Amazonia’s bioeconomy is shaped by a unique combination of scientific research, ancestral and local knowledge, entrepreneurial initiatives, and growing market opportunities. Connecting these different forms of knowledge and the people working across the territory is essential to turning ideas and research into products, partnerships, and solutions that respond to local realities and can thrive in the region.

This session brings together researchers, funding organizations, companies, and ventures to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping the bioeconomy today. From access to finance and scientific collaboration to supply chains, traceability, and market opportunities, the conversation explores how initiatives such as nexBio Amazonia can help build connections between knowledge, innovation, and business, creating new pathways for collaboration across the ecosystem.
