Relevant sectors include among others: * Agriculture; Food processing and packaging * Bio-medicines (krill, proteins, plant-based products etc); Pharmaceuticals * Forestry (Non timber forest produce); Bioenergy (Biogas, Algae etc) * Fisheries and Aquaculture Relevant cross-cutting issues include: Value chain analysis; Gender/Social inclusion; Policy and regulatory framework; Innovative bioeconomy-business models; Future road maps to promote bioeconomy; Developing special zones for bioeconomy/Clusters/Living labs/Incubators and Investments/PPP. Barriers and constraints to develop bioeconomy include: regulations due to intellectual property rights, rigid legal frameworks, lack of skilled workforce in rural areas, lack of quality control and lack of processing, storage and market infrastructure. Bio-economy through bio-based innovations has the potential to stimulate economy and markets in India and Norway. An innovative knowledge based bio-economy will help in stimulating green growth and economy in India and Norway. It has the potential to enable sustainable use of biomass produced, and reduce the effects on climate, environment and nature.
