The next one will be held on May 28, 2026 III IBMCP-COMPANIES Conference "Innovating the future of plant biotechnology"\u00ab <\/strong>at the Blue Cube Auditorium of the Polytechnic City of Innovation (Valencia). The event is organized by the Institute of Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology (IBMCP), the Cajamar Cooperative Group, and BIOVEGEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event has the aim <\/strong>to make available <\/strong>he IBMCP knowledge and capabilities<\/strong> to solve the challenges of companies in the agri-food sector,  to disseminate the scientific and technological capabilities of the center and promote science-business projects. <\/strong>The conference will showcase the latest advances in crop genome editing, new plant nutrition and health treatments, new, more efficient and nutritious varieties, and the implementation of sustainability in the production chain. It will also address cross-cutting aspects of the geopolitical and legislative context, open innovation, and technology transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is designed as a tool for business development<\/strong>, Therefore, participating professionals will be able to maintain bilateral meetings <\/strong>to promote science-business collaborations and projects. These pre-scheduled meetings will take place throughout the day in the following spaces: networking <\/em>enabled. The event currently has More than 200 registered professionals from more than 80 entities in the sector<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n
