The BioBus tour

Bringing the bioeconomy to your doorstep

The bioeconomy means supplying what society needs (our economy) from renewable plants, animals and microbes (biological sources). It’s what we did before we ever discovered crude oil with all its modern uses. And it’s our best option to replace it. But despite how important the bioeconomy is to our future, most people haven’t heard of it. That’s why we’re running a national campaign to raise awareness. We think everyone should know what the bioeconomy is and why we are depending on it. We’ll be touring a mobile exhibit up and down the country to bring this information directly to you!

The tour will be split into two parts: An English speaking campaign, which will last for four weeks and will cover all counties, and a one week long Irish speaking campaign specifically targeting Gaeltacht areas.
