The HempClub project is an EU COSME project bringing together 7 clusters and associations operating in the the bioeconomy, advanced manufacturing and hemp production sectors to create interconnected and interregional supply chains between operators in primary production, agri-food processing and green chemistry in the hemp and bioeconomy sector. HempClub project works to unlock the potential of hemp by creating EU value chains for biobased applications and new business opportunities for primary producers and chemical companies.

Through mutual learning, and SMEs and other stakeholders’ mobility, HempCluB aims to unlock the biomass exploitation potential supporting the ClusterXchange scheme’s implementation. HempClub has already organised several Exchanges to facilitate transnational cooperation, peer learning, networking and innovation between actors of different industrial clusters and to share knowledge and commercial opportunities in the bioeconomy sector. 

The next Exchange will be held on September 19-20, 2023 in Zaragoza (Spain). The Bioeconomy Exchange in Wine Industry will be hosted by CAMPAG a non-profit business association made up of companies from the agricultural and livestock production sector in Aragon (Spain), as well as collaborating partners, organizations, and business entities in the sector, knowledge centers, and research institutes.
