| Summary: | Bioeconomy, as an evolving concept, gained serious interest in the past two decades. It is considered a
key driver in resolving a number of global challenges and is integrated into a broader framework with
circularity, green transition and sustainable development. At this point, many international, national and
regional strategic documents are linked to bioeconomy and directed to its strategic objectives. The aim of
the paper is to present comparative analysis of bioeconomy strategies at global and national levels in order
to observe the main concepts, vision and priorities and highlighted future agenda, prospects and
recommendations for better integration and coordination. The analysis of the published strategic
documents shows that there are no global framework and internationally accepted definition of
bioeconomy. There are diverse understandings and differences in key priorities and goals between
Europe, Asia, and South and North America. The bioeconomy remains a political concept, with a
significant number of countries engaged in implementing its guiding principles. Until 2030, the ambitions
in bioeconomy strategies and policies will be tested. In this regard, significant support is needed in the
form of specific measures and financial instruments to realize investments in this field.
