Last week, BIOVEGEN participated in the XVI Meeting of Molecular Plant Biology by organizing the “BIOVEGEN Session: Public-Private Collaboration and Funding for R&D+i” that took place on Thursday, September 15, from 17:30 to 19:00 hours. This session included participation from companies such as AGROINTEC, ALGAENERGY, the Mixed Unit CBGP-TRADECORP, and AGROQUIVIR, presenting their objectives and interests, and there was an active and enriching science-business discussion table.

Additionally, ALGAENERGY presented the objectives and progress of the MICROCLIMATT Operational Group, a project aimed at testing the effectiveness of microalgae biostimulants, in which BIOVEGEN participates. The MicroClimatt Operational Group, with a budget of €557,816.49, is co-financed by the European Union at 80% through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and 20% by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, with the General Directorate of Rural Development, Innovation, and Agri-food Training (DGDRIFA) being the managing authority responsible for the application of the aid.
