The SeaBioComp Interreg Project invites businesses, stakeholders, research organisations and interested parties to attend the final project conference to discuss, 'Bio-based composites: are they a solution for the marine sector?' taking place Thursday 19th January 2023, 10.00-14.30 CET and also available to attend online.

This free conference will present the results of the SeaBioComp project which has developed a number of new bio-based thermoplastic composite materials for use in the marine environment using 3D printing, compression moulding and resin-infusion moulding.

In addition the conference will hear from speakers in the bio-based composite value chain on the challenges they face using bio-composites.

This highly topical event, will include a networking lunch where delegates can meet with all the partners of the SeaBioComp project as well as all the conference delegates.
