Emerging opportunities and trends in European agri-food & the role of biostimulants in the Next-Gen food chain

Entrepreneurs who have attracted financing against the odds, will share their challenges and how they overcame them. Investors will reveal what makes a compelling case for investment. Structured investee/investor “speed-networking” is a special feature, providing innovators and investors with thoughtfully managed opportunities to meet.

You will explore how a range of disruptive technologies will contribute to the Next-Gen Food Chain, including precision-ag, artificial intelligence, vertical farming and their relevance for biostimulants.

Consumer demands and societal expectations are transforming the way we produce and consume food. In this session, you will learn about what’s driving these seismic changes and how policymakers and food chain actors are responding. The European Commission’s new “Farm to Fork” strategy will be featured.

Understanding the technologies, including biostimulants, that are helping to mitigate the effects of climate crisis and how their benefits can be integrated into policy frameworks that will make a difference to the scale of technology uptake and current adaptations.

Investors and ag professionals from the wider food chain will identify new opportunities to use investment, disruptive technologies, alliances and climate-smart solutions to make the Next-Gen food chain a reality, with the help of biostimulants.

Executives from the Biostimulants industry will gain fresh ideas and applicable tools to take their businesses to the next level by securing investment, leveraging disruptive technologies, allying with the wider food chain, and capitalizing on climate-smart food production.
