The theme for the event was “Empowering Ireland’s Bioeconomy for a Greener Tomorrow”, where a broad range of stakeholders from across Ireland’s bioeconomy demonstrated how individually and collectively the bioeconomy is being developed in a sustainable and circular way to address climate action and promote a healthy environment whilst helping achieve a fair and prosperous society through innovative and collaborative approaches.

The launch event for Bioeconomy Ireland Week 2023 took place on Monday 16 October 2023 in Waterford. The event, titled ‘Communities, Regions & Cities – The ‘Bioeconomy in Action’ in your Region’, was organised by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, in partnership with the Southern Regional Assembly and Munster Technological University.
Martin Heydon, T.D., Minister of State with responsibility for Research and Development, Farm Safety and New Market Development formally opened the event, along with Cllr Terry Shannon, Cathaoirleach of Southern Regional Assembly.
The event then featured rapid-fire introductions to practical examples of the bioeconomy in action in the southern region from four different, ongoing research projects. This was followed by a panel discussion, moderated by Dermot Keyes of Green Acre Marketing, which represented policy, industry, regional and local perspectives on the bioeconomy. The morning’s activities concluded with an interactive workshop for both in-person and online attendees, facilitated by Munster Technological University and the Southern Regional Assembly.
