How industries and cities are seizing the opportunity of the bioeconomy

How industries and cities are seizing the opportunity of the bioeconomy to enable prosperous and sustainable regions: cases from Quebec. 

In this paper, various community-scale bioeconomy projects are presented and discussed. The role of cities and other local stakeholders in the deployment of these projects and the focus on getting products or coproducts for local uses are also elaborated. A framework involving the positive involvement of national and regional institutions and the development of a network with local stakeholders is proposed to increase the chance of success of community-scale bioeconomy projects.
