We have a strategic and powerful agricultural sector at the national and international level, which also faces challenges that threaten its competitiveness; We also have very good Science in quantity and quality, but this is not reflected in innovation in the agricultural sector. The opportunities that Science makes available to the Company are not taken advantage of. Therefore, with this Conference we intend to contribute to a greater rapprochement between Technological Supply and Demand, to make investment in research profitable and to develop collaboration and business opportunities. We make our capabilities available to the sector to ensure that Science and Business go hand in hand to improve the competitiveness of the agricultural sector in Spain. To make the R&amp;D of our country profitable. This is the objective of BIOVEGEN and this event.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening of the Conference was given by the former Director of Agriculture and Innovation of the European Commission, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Silva Rodr\u00edguez, who offered an overview of the current panorama of the agri-food sector.
