Global Bioeconomy Summit 2024

The Global Bioeconomy Summit (GBS) is a prestigious international event that brings together bioeconomy leaders from around the world, reflecting the interdisciplinary and diverse nature of the field. For the first time, GBS will be hosted outside Europe, in Nairobi, Kenya. Launched in 2015, GBS was designed to be a global, inclusive summit, uniting experts from all corners of the world to showcase the bioeconomy’s diverse and interdisciplinary features.

GBS2024 will focus on building resilient and sustainable food systems, positioning the bioeconomy as a model for transitioning to less fossil-dependent economies, conserving biodiversity, and leveraging innovation to create new economic opportunities, particularly for youth employment. The summit serves as a platform for fostering dialogue among diverse stakeholders, promoting the exchange of best practices, and identifying opportunities for global collaboration and innovation.

  • Cross-sectoral topics (e.g., agri-food systems, forestry, ocean/aquatic systems, bio-manufacturing, biopharma, biotechnology, biomaterials and bioenergy)
  • Ecosystems (e.g., nature/ecology, consumer products, construction and urban design)
  • Supporting mechanisms and enablers (e.g., policies, finance, standards, measurements and certifications)

The GBS fosters dialogue among a wide range of actors to promote the sharing of best practices, identify opportunities for global innovation and collaboration, and gather champions in promoting the bioeconomy concept across disciplines and sectors, especially among policymakers and financiers.

GBS2024 anticipates 500 in-person attendees and over 3,000 online participants.

The Summit is hosted by the East African Science and Technology Commission (EASTECO) under the East African Community (EAC), the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe)/BioInnovate Africa, and Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI).
