    El concepto de bioeconomía ha cobrado creciente notoriedad en la última década. Desde el punto de vista empresarial, numerosas compañías desarrollan y adoptan tecnologías cimentadas en recursos biológicos. Desde las políticas públicas, cada vez más países presentan planes estratégicos para el desarrollo de la bioeconomía. No obstante, conviven actualmente una gran diversidad de definiciones, tipologías y escuelas de pensamiento alrededor del significado y alcance del concepto. En este artículo, proponemos una conceptualización integral y de carácter amplio sobre la bioeconomía. Presentamos una categorización respecto a los objetivos subyacentes a una transición de la economía fósil a una basada en el aprovechamiento sostenible de los recursos naturales, y las principales trayectorias tecnológicas actualmente disponibles para este fin. Finalmente, reflexionamos sobre los desafíos que implica la creación de nuevas empresas y cadenas de valor bioeconómicas, aportando al diseño de políticas públicas y estrategias empresariales para la transición.

    The concept of the bioeconomy has gained increasing visibility in the last decade. From a business perspective, many companies develop and adopt technologies based on biological resources. From a public policy perspective, several countries present strategic plans for developing the bioeconomy. However, there is currently a great diversity of definitions, typologies, and schools of thought around its mean-ing and scope. This article proposes a comprehensive and broad conceptualization of the bioeconomy. We present a categorization of the main objectives underlying a transition from a fossil economy to one based on the sustainable use of natural resources, as well as the main technological trajectories currently available for this purpose. Finally, we discuss the challenges involved in the creation of new bio-economic enterprises and value chains, contributing to the design of public policies and business strategies for the transition
