VANCOUVER — A global conference focused on the green economy will take place in Vancouver in June.
The Forest Innovation and Bioeconomy Conference (FIBC) will take place in Vancouver from June 19 to 21 and is a partnership between the Province of British Columba, Foresight Canada, FPInnovations and the University of British Columbia (UBC) and will feature keynote speakers on topics such as sustainability, Indigenous leadership and future opportunities in the forest bioeconomy, a Government of B.C. release said.
“The conference will be a great opportunity to advance innovation in Canada, agreeing on concrete actions and synergizing with our international partners.
