The transition towards a bioeconomy in a challenging and complex environment requires substantial interaction and collaboration between different players at multiple levels. This chapter discusses the concept of a bioeconomy professional who acts as a catalyst and change agent in this transition. This actor plays an integrative and connecting role for which the development of fundamental and key competencies is required. The concept of T-shaped profiles, built up from disciplinary expertise and the ability to integrate different disciplines and players holistically, is considered a defining feature of bioeconomists. To acquire such profile, interdisciplinary approaches and dedicated learning environments are required during education processes. Bioeconomists have relevant roles in all different stages of the value chain as well as in their initial establishment. Concluding this chapter, four perspectives of bioeconomy graduates are presented to provide an overview of the potential career opportunities available to these professionals.
