WCEF Accelerator Session

WCEF 2026 Accelerator Session

Session Description

The circular bioeconomy is becoming an important pathway for enabling the transition towards regenerative, resource-efficient and low-carbon production systems. By combining India's strengths in agricultural feedstock availability, biotechnology innovation, research capabilities and industrial biorefinery infrastructure, the circular bioeconomy presents an opportunity to develop scalable alternatives to fossil-based production systems while creating new economic value across sectors.

This Accelerator session will showcase innovative solutions, business models and collaborative approaches that are advancing the circular bioeconomy from concept to implementation. It will highlight how industries, innovators, investors and policymakers are working together to scale renewable carbon solutions, strengthen value chains and accelerate the adoption of circular alternatives across sectors.

Through examples from India and other regions, the session will showcase how circular bioeconomy solutions are being translated into commercial applications by leveraging advances in biotechnology, renewable feedstock availability, research and innovation capabilities, and integrated biorefinery models. The discussion will highlight how biomass and other renewable carbon sources are being transformed into high-value products, including sustainable chemicals, ingredients, materials and fuels, while creating new value chains and strengthening industrial competitiveness.

By bringing together practitioners and solution providers, the session will provide insights into scalable models, emerging innovations and lessons from implementation that can inspire replication across geographies and sectors, contributing to the global transition towards a circular economy.

The session will showcase scalable circular bioeconomy solutions that convert biomass and other renewable carbon sources into sustainable chemicals, materials, ingredients and fuels. The session will explore innovations, business models, financing mechanisms and policy enablers needed to move solutions from pilot to commercial scale, while highlighting opportunities for cross-sector partnerships and replication across geographies.

Target Audience

Industry and biorefineries, startups and technology providers, investors and financial institutions, government and policymakers, academia and R&D, biomass and agriculture stakeholders, and international organisations.
