The EBIO project celebrated its successful conclusion with a final event on October 16, 2024. Held amidst the scenic autumn foliage of Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, the event was organized as a side session of the Nordic Wood Biorefinery Conference (NWBC) 2024.
The morning was filled with presentations from consortium partners, showcasing key discoveries, supply chain integration strategies, and scale-up possibilities. The session was well-received, generating significant interest from both project stakeholders and external attendees.
For those unable to attend in person, the event recording is now available on YouTube:
