The Pilots4U powered by COPILOT project co-organises the Pitch Perfect and Boost the European Bioeconomy 2025 event, organised on 24 & 25 November 2025 at the Sheraton Brussels Airport. This two-day event of intense cross-border and cross-sectoral pitching, matchmaking and networking, aims to link industry to innovative (biobased) technologies, innovators to investors and to create new partnerships for the future and the further development of innovative, cross-border and cross-sectoral industrial value chains in the biobased economy.
(Young) innovative Start-ups and SMEs active in the bioeconomy are the core of this event. They will take the stage during 100+ pitches of seven minutes each. We bring +/- 450 bioeconomy stakeholders together including around 180 start-ups/SMEs, 50-60 investors, 50+ corporates, 30+ European pilot and demonstration facilities and about 150 other bioeconomy stakeholders.
