With the TUM Global Dialogue event series, the TUM Global Network aims to connect the TUM community with cooperation partners and stakeholders from all over the world, facilitate an interactive global dialogue, and make current research topics available to an interested wider public. Hosted by TUM Sao Paulo, this panel discussion with scientists from TUM and its Latin American partner universities will present various ideas and concepts of the bio-economy in Brazil, Colombia and Germany and discuss how they create added value for local communities.
