From BIOVEGEN, as a public-private association focused on supporting innovation in the sector and collaborating with FRUIT ATTRACTION, we aim to demonstrate the technological and funding opportunities available to the sector through technological innovation, which offers new products, varieties, new crop applications, new tools, greater efficiency in production, and reduced environmental impact… Ultimately, it aims to show how technological innovation in the sector, driven by tools emerging from a deep understanding of plant biology, provides business opportunities and competitiveness across the entire agri-food value chain.
