Exhibition, Conferences and Study Tours The Gallagher Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa
BEES is launching Bio360 Africa as a new purpose-driven event dedicated to accelerating bioenergy and sustainable solutions development across Africa. Building on the success of Bio360 Europe in Nantes, France, 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 catalyze regional and international partnerships to harness Africa’s abundant biomass resources and meet rising clean energy demands.
