BEDO (Office of Bioeconomy Development) organized "BIO TRADE CONNECT 2026," a B2B networking event connecting rural bio-resource producers with private-sector businesses to expand market access and commercialize local bio-based products sustainably. The initiative emphasizes the "Nature Positive" framework, balancing economic growth with biodiversity conservation while creating stable income for communities. Activities included panel discussions, product showcases of "Product Champions," and one-on-one business matching with retailers and online platforms.
