Congratulations to Sari Tasa, the Finnish representative in the CBE JU states’ representatives group (SRG) who took on this important role today.
‘The CBE JU is doing an impressive work to scale up the bioeconomy in Europe as a solution to global challenges,’ said Ms Tasa in her address to the SRG members after her election. ‘We urgently need to address these challenges, and I see no better way to do it than in this group. CBE JU’s SRG is a powerful unit of like-minded people who, together with the joint undertaking and its founding partners can raise awareness about the importance of bioeconomy and push forward new types of thinking, collaboration and business models,’ she added.
