A national bioeconomy strategy has not been available to date.

In Flanders, facilities for modern plant breeding as well as high-tech industrial locations ensure high potential for innovations. In 2014, the Flemish Government presented the strategy “Bioeconomy in Flanders”. Additionally, there are other relevant initiatives on "sustainable chemistry" or the 2012 "Flemish Materials Program".

In 2012, a new framework program, the "Biotechnology Development Policy Framework", was published to cover plans for the coming decade. It aims to strengthen the role of biotechnology in the energy, food, agriculture and health sectors. The National Science Technology and Innovation Policy Office and the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology are responsible for the strategy. The Kingdom sees great potential in the promotion of bioplastics ("National BioPlastics Roadmap") and bioenergy ("Alternative Energy and Development Plan").

The "Blue-Bio 2016 Plan" defines how domestic marine resources should be protected, managed and used. South Korea also has a "Green Growth Strategy" and a "National Basic Energy Plan" which, in addition to a clear commitment to nuclear energy, also supports the promotion of bioenergy. It was developed by various ministries of the South Korean government with a view to promoting the country's competitiveness. The main economic goal is to become one of the leading seven nations in biotechnology by 2018 and one of the top five biochemistry locations by 2020.

The policy strategy aims to raise public awareness of biotechnology and to cement its position within society. Through greater use of biotechnology, progress is being made in various areas: agriculture, health, industry and the energy sector. A National Biotechnology Council was set up to promote the opening of biotechnology parks.

Russia relies primarily on its natural resources for its bioeconomy activities: forests, arable land and access to water. Biotechnology will serve as a tool for further development. In 2011, for example, former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev adopted a national bioeconomy strategy developed by the National Technology Platform Biotech 2030. The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Research are involved in this platform. A number of research facilities are also available.

Indonesia does not have a bioeconomy strategy, but development of the bioeconomy is promoted at a political level by the “National Energy Policy” and the “Grand Strategy of Agricultural Development 2015-2045”, especially in two areas, bioenergy and agroindustry.
For palm oil production, the government has set standards for sustainability.

It is estimated that the country's energy needs will be fivefold within the next 25 years. By 2025, the government plans for biodiesel to cover 20% of the energy sector’s demand. It is to be obtained mainly from agricultural and forestry waste products. In its "National Biodiesel Mission", the country also identified the jatropha plant as a beacon of hope. However, the expectations that were given to this plant as a supplier of biodiesel have not yet been met. In addition to biofuels, there are many opportunities for innovation in the food sector.

Bio-based polymers are a key area in the production of chemicals.Understandably, the five-year plan also includes agricultural innovations, such as the "12th Five-Year Plan for National Agriculture and Rural Economic Development".

It also benefits from being a leading biotechnology nation. Many US chemical companies rely on bio-based production processes. The construction of biorefineries and biofuel production are generously promoted. The USA is a heavyweight in the field of green genetic engineering, too: 40% of the global cultivation area of ​​genetically modified crops is located in the USA.

Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia and very rich in bioresources. The country alone is home to about 9% of the world's forests. The bioeconomy opens up new opportunities for Canada to use biobased resources efficiently and sustainably and to open up new markets.
