> Adriatic Region, Croatia AdriBioHub is a regional educational and advisory platform that connects youth, communities, policymakers, academia, and industry to foster inclusive bioeconomy practices. Main Challenges Awareness of the bioeconomy remains low, with weak links between education and industry limiting skills transfer. Hands-on opportunities for youth are scarce, especially in less developed areas. Gender imbalance persists, as young women remain underrepresented in sectors relevant to the bioeconomy. Marginalised groups involved Business model developed AdriBioHub functions as a voluntary, multi-stakeholder platform that connects local actors and provides access to knowledge, mentorship, and collaboration. It supports bottom-up initiatives and the sustainable use of biomass while preparing to formalise its structure into an association. This model creates a flexible yet coordinated framework to strengthen participation in the circular bioeconomy. What’s Next? AdriBioHub aims to become a lasting online platform for knowledge exchange, stakeholder networking, and visibility of good practices, embedded in national bioeconomy efforts. • Young people with fewer opportunities • Girls and young women in underrepresented fields AdriBioHub helps us connect our students to real-world opportunities and gives them tools to see the bioeconomy as a future career path — not just a concept. website linkedIn
