A bio-economy comprises the knowledge-based production and use of biological resources to provide products, procedures and services in all economic sectors. Every country in the world thus has a bio-economy, even if the characteristics of individual bio-economies vary significantly globally.

In this respect, there are numerous overlaps with the scientific and sustainability strategies of many countries as well as with the green economy concept.
