BIOVEGEN organized on May 24, 2024, the Science-Business Session: “Applications of plant-organism interaction in the agri-biotechnological industry,” held as part of the I Meeting of the Biotic Interactions in Plants Group, which took place in Granada from May 22 to 24, 2024.
The session attracted about 100 attendees and included participation from 13 entities, which presented the private sector’s perspectives on the research of biotic interactions in plants, both beneficial and harmful. Additionally, the event facilitated interaction among various research groups, as well as between these groups and companies, generating intense debates on how to promote public-private collaboration.
