This paper provides evidence of the contribution of the bioeconomy to the value added and employment in Colombia and Antioquia, one of its regions. Since knowledge and scientific research are determinant factors for the bioeconomy strategies, relevant indicators of human capital and bioeconomy-related research capacities are studied for the case of Antioquia. The results show that bioeconomy in Colombia represents around 11% of the total value added and 21% of the national employment, which provides a baseline to building a monitoring strategy of the bioeconomy in Colombia and its regions23 páginasPDFengOpen AccessWorking paperQ01 - Sustainable DevelopmentQ57 - Ecological Economics: Ecosystem Services; Biodiversity Conservation; Bioeconomics; Industrial EcologyR58 - Regional Development Planning and PolicyKnowledge-based bioeconomySustainable developmentBio-based industriesColombiaRecursos naturales -- Aspectos económicos -- ColombiaEconomía ambiental -- Antioquia -- ColombiaAcceso abiertoAtribucion-NoComercial-CompartirIgual CC BY-NC-SA 4.0Cambio climático
