Future in the region through bioeconomy

The region has a unique opportunity to develop into a model region for sustainable business with international appeal.

In our initiative for a model region BioeconomyREVIER, we want to bring together all the players who want to develop and implement biobased solutions for the economy and sustainability in the region today and in the future.

Future in the region through bioeconomy

The bioeconomy offers special opportunities for the region and its people through the sustainable use of resources and services.

The Rhenish mining area is set to become an innovation engine for Germany. The region will therefore be one step ahead in many job profiles and qualifications in the future.

Future in the region through bioeconomy

We obtain the grass for our paper production in Düren from local farmers or municipalities. When the quantities become larger, we want to organize this via the farmers' associations.
For this reason, we are very pleased that BioökonomieREVIER has arranged the contact with agriculture.

There is considerable opportunity potential for agriculture in the region in the new integrated value chains.
