BIOVEGEN Science-Business Session held: “Applications of plant-organism interaction in the agrobiotechnological company”

On May 24, 2024, BIOVEGEN organized the Science-Business Session: “Applications of plant-organism interaction in the agrobiotechnological company”, framed as part of the I Meeting of the Biotic Interactions in Plants Group, held in Granada del May 22 to 24, 2024.

The session attracted around 100 attendees and included the participation of 13 entities, which presented private sector perspectives on research into biotic interactions in plants, both beneficial and detrimental. In addition, the day facilitated interaction between various research groups, as well as between these groups and companies, generating intense debates about how to promote public-private collaboration.
