El 1 de febrero de 2017 dedicamos en la Fundación Ramón Areces un simposio internacional a 'Los retos del Planeta y propuestas de soluciones desde la bioeconomía'. Organizado en colaboración con la Asociación BioEuroLatina, fue inaugurado por la Secretaria de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación del Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Carmen Vela. Durante toda la jornada, los ponentes debatieron sobre cómo la bioeconomía, conjunto de actividades económicas que utilizan de manera sostenible los recursos de origen biológico, contribuye a producir alimentos, y energía de soporte para el conjunto del sistema económico.
