The Environmental Policy Consortium of Terres de l’Ebre (COPATE) is organizing the I Biosphere Reserve Congress, an event funded by the Nuclear Transition Fund, to be held in Horta de Sant Joan on June 11 and 12.

This initiative, themed Innovation and Territory, aims to create a meeting point for businesses, administrations, and other local stakeholders. The primary goal is to foster bioeconomy, innovation, and sustainable development in the Terres de l’Ebre.
The congress will place special emphasis on supporting businesses accredited within the Biosphere Reserve, providing them with tools and resources to enhance their competitiveness, integrate innovative processes, and adapt to new environmental and economic challenges. Additionally, the event seeks to reinforce the role of the Terres de l’Ebre Biosphere Reserve as a strategic asset for territorial development.

"This congress responds to the desire to generate opportunities for the business fabric of the territory, providing companies with spaces for knowledge, exchange, and advice."

The program will include presentations, round tables, and networking sessions, with content focused on bioeconomy, sustainability, innovation in the agri-food and tourism sectors, and the digitalization of small and medium-sized enterprises. Activities linked to the territory are also planned to showcase experiences and initiatives from the Reserve.
The event is aimed at businesses, professionals, public administrations, students, and the general public interested in sustainable development and the future of the region. Registrations are now open, and more information can be found on the Biosphere Reserve website.
