The 2026 CBE JU Stakeholder Forum logotype places the concept of scale-up at its core. Its geometry uses structured squares and rectangles that rise, extend and evolve, reflecting the bio-based sector’s journey from early ideas and concepts to the practical, impactful solutions that we will see exhibited at the event.
Each shape carries meaning, reflecting the Stakeholder Forum’s central themes: growth is expressed through rising shapes and the idea of expansion; innovation emerges from the interplay and transformation of forms, scale-up is represented through directional flow and a sense of forward progression.
The white squares and rectangles, contrasted against a dark blue background form the foundation of the design, symbolising stability and the solid base needed to advance innovation. The rounded edges introduce openness and continuity, creating a bridge between established structures and emerging growth. Circles and curved triangular shapes are added as dynamic extensions, bringing movement, direction and diversity. Designed to be both structured and dynamic, the logo reflects the energy and ambition of the bio-based community. It serves as a graphic metaphor for the mission of CBE JU and its stakeholder community, communicating progress, collaboration and the drive to turn innovation into real-world change.
