Mark your calendars! The European Bioenergy Future (EBF) returns on 5–6 November 2025 in Brussels, in a refreshed, more condensed format tailored especially for Bioenergy Europe stakeholders. Organised by Bioenergy Europe, the 2025 edition will offer a unique opportunity to engage in focused networking and connect directly with key stakeholders and decision-makers in Brussels. While shorter in duration, it continues EBF’s tradition of being a key meeting point for the sector, offering a space for meaningful dialogue, strategic networking, and impactful connections with those driving Europe's renewable energy transition. Join us at Le Louise Hotel and engage with key players through open exchange, collaboration, and direct dialogue with Brussels stakeholders.
