The Bioeconomy Cluster (recently benchmarked under DanuBioValNet project) has significantly contributed to the revision of the Action plan of the Regional Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialization in Slovakia (RIS3). For the first time, bioeconomy appeared as one of priorities in a strategic document in Slovakia. RIS3 Action plan consists of 5 main domains. Bioeconomy Cluster as a member of the working group for domain Healthy Food and Environment has actively participated in the  preparation of the domain and supported inclusion of bioeconomy among priorities.
