Objective

In this course we are going to examine whether the energy transition is a threat or an opportunity for the bioeconomy sector. The aim is to focus on the solutions and look for the opportunities offered by the energy transition for the bioeconomy sector. Course will concentrate on:
• Importance of energy in the bioeconomy
• Fair and sustainable energy transition
• Possibilities of the energy transition for the bioeconomy sector
• Utilisation of the PESTE analysis as a tool for future forecasting

Content
