2026 Brussels

The Bioeconomy LAB is just around the corner! From 28 September to 1 October, Cepi will bring together innovative bio-based products, inspiring research, expert discussions and networking opportunities at the House of the Austrian Economy in Brussels.

Bioeconomy LAB showcase

In the future, almost anything could be made from wood fibre, offering renewable, recyclable and low-carbon alternatives to many fossil-based materials and products. From circular solutions and wood-based textiles to construction products and technologies supporting carbon neutrality, paper- and fibre-based innovations offer Europe a tangible way to strengthen its open strategic autonomy while enabling citizens to make more sustainable choices in their daily lives.

Featuring more than 50 products from nearly 30 companies, the exhibition will offer a glimpse into a future in which sustainable, climate-friendly products from the pulp and paper sector become the new normal in a climate-compatible economy.
