About BEES · Bio360 Africa

A small independent team with a long history in bioenergy events.

Who we are

🌍

International, but personal

BEES is a small independent team with an international outlook. We work close to the sector, close to our partners and close to the realities of project development.

⚙️

Hands-on by nature

From live machinery demonstrations to operating wood and pellet appliances safely inside exhibition halls, practical demonstration has always been part of our event DNA.

🌱

Committed to the transition

We are not neutral observers of the sector. We believe in the transformative role of bioenergy and the bioeconomy, and we build platforms intended to help that future happen faster.

From wood energy to Bio360

A history rooted in the sector

BEES has been organising sector events for more than 20 years. Over time, that journey has included events such as Salon Bois Energie, Biogaz Europe, ReGen Europe, Bioenergy World Europe, Bioenergy World Americas and more, with activity in France and internationally.

Today, Bio360 Europe has become the flagship expression of that history: a cross-disciplinary meeting point where bioenergy, the bioeconomy and carbon management increasingly connect.

Why that matters for Bio360 Africa

Bio360 Africa is not being created from scratch by a generic event organiser. It is being developed by a team that has grown with the sector, adapted with it and helped shape the conversations around it for years.

Deep familiarity with bioenergy value chains
Experience building international event communities
A proven format combining exhibition, conferences and networking
A practical understanding of how sectors evolve and converge

We do not just organise events about the sector. We work to create the conditions in which the sector can meet, connect, accelerate and grow.

How the story evolved

1998

Origins in wood energy
The historical roots go back to the wood energy event launched by ITEBE, later known as Salon Bois Energie.

2005

BEES enters the story
Salon Bois Energie was acquired by BEES and became the base for a growing family of bioenergy and bioeconomy events.

2010-2020

Portfolio expands
Biogaz Europe and later ReGen Europe joined the picture, helping build a broader, cross-sector event logic.

Today

Bio360 as the umbrella
Bio360 Europe now brings these strands together into a larger international platform for bioenergy, the bioeconomy and carbon management

What defines BEES
