Then, BIOREGIO partners and stakeholders were welcomed in EVYP SA, a company engaged in the production of hydrolysed proteins and amino acids, of plant origin only, for agricultural use. The company is highly involved in cooperation with universities and research Institutes as they are experimenting with developing new products based strictly on plant-based raw materials. BIOREGIO partners there created new paths for future collaborations.

The last visit was held on the premises of BIOGAS-LAGADA SA. The company was awarded in 2017 on their contribution to ”waste & recycling”. Its scope is the production, supply and market exploitation of electricity from renewable energy sources, specifically, biogas. Since the manager of the company was an invited Greek stakeholder in the 2nd interregional event, partners were already familiar with the unit’s goals, so they took the opportunity to further investigate the infrastructure, the technology applied and future set targets of the facility.
Mr Athanasios Totsidis, manager of the BIOGAS Lagada is analyzing the operational process of the facility to BIOREGIO partners and invited stakeholders.
