Building on the success of Bio360 Europe, Bio360 Africa will bring together stakeholders from farmers to investors, startups to industrial majors, and public bodies to foster collaboration, innovation, and growth in the African bioenergy sector.
Johannesburg is the strategic destination of choice to launch Bio360 Africa, situated at the heart of South Africa’s agro-industrial hub, internationally accessible and providing easy access to neighbouring African markets. Bio360 Africa will catalyse regional and international partnerships to harness Africa’s abundant biomass resources and meet rising clean energy demands.
