Concept and Genesis of
BIOKET
BIOKET, short for BIOeconomy Key Enabling Technologies, is a global event dedicated to the processes and technologies applied to biomass.
Created in 2018  by B4C – The French Bioeconomy Cluster, BIOKET was founded to fill a niche in highlighting the Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) that are essential for transforming biomass into high value added products.
While many events focus on end-user markets, global trends and policy, BIOKET emphasizes the technologies that drive industrial modernization and the transition towards a greener economy.
