BIOMETHAVERSE joined the Green Technology Expo at ECOMONDO which took place in Rimini from 7 – 10 of November, 2023. ECOMONDO serves as a hub for dialogue and interaction among industries, stakeholders, policymakers, opinion leaders, and local authorities. It gathers and organizes key elements that define the development strategies of the European Union’s environmental policy.
