Due to European and global resource efficiency efforts, the bioeconomy research and
the search for new bioresource valorisation alternatives has become topical. Bioeconomy directly
concerns such major sectors of the economy as agriculture, forestry, fishery, as well as other
indirect bioeconomy sectors. However, the practical implementation of bioeconomy has had quite
low implementation rate, which is partly caused by the multitude and variety of factors that affect
the bioeconomy system. This paper evaluates seven bioeconomy affecting factors (particularly
related to biotechonomy concept) and links between them in order to promote successful
implementation of bioeconomy. To evaluate these factors interpretive structural modelling
method (ISM) is used. The application of ISM method allows to not only identify the factor
interaction links, but also to graphically represent their directed structure. The results show that
three out of seven factors have the strongest interrelation, namely, climate change, bioresources
and technologies. This research can be complimented by further adding other factors that could
be influencing for bioeconomy development, for example, financial resources, human health,
well-being, and so on; therefore, to reach better understanding about influential factors and
bioeconomy dependency on them; also, system dynamics approach could be used in order to fully
uncover the factor interaction links.
