29 > Slovenia HUBS The Slovenian Hub is a multi-stakeholder platform uniting government, industry, academia, and civil society to accelerate the transition to a circular bioeconomy. Main Challenges Stakeholder engagement is fragmented, with limited cross-sectoral collaboration and low public awareness of bioeconomy opportunities. Access to financing for innovation and sustainability transitions remains insufficient, slowing systemic change. Marginalised groups involved Business model developed The Hub promotes collaborative models such as clusters, cooperatives, and social enterprises. These models strengthen local circular value chains while ensuring that disadvantaged groups are included in new opportunities. By bridging policy, research, and industry, the Hub fosters partnerships that align national strategies with grassroots initiatives, embedding inclusiveness into economic transformation. What’s Next? The Hub aims to become Slovenia’s leading national platform for circular and socially inclusive bioeconomy solutions, with influence across the wider BIOEAST region. • Unemployed youth • Rural communities By bridging policy, industry, and research, and involving diverse stakeholders, we are laying the foundation for a sustainable bioeconomy in Slovenia. website
