Fruit Attraction LIVEConnect <\/em>last Thursday hosted the first session of the BIOTECH ATTRACTION conference cycle: \u201c\u201cPotential of agrobiology for new agriculture\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BIOTECH ATTRACTION cycle aims to show the technological trends that will mark the future of agriculture, as well as examples of innovative companies and projects that work on these topics. From BIOVEGEN, as a public-private association focused on supporting innovation in the sector and a collaborator of FRUIT ATTRACTION, we intend with this cycle to show the technological and financing opportunities that are opening up to the sector through technological innovation, which offers new products, varieties, new crop applications, new tools, greater efficiency in production, lower environmental impact... In short, show how technological innovation in the sector, enhanced by the tools that emerge from in-depth knowledge of plant biology, provides \u201cbusiness opportunities and competitiveness to the entire value chain of the agri-food sector\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first session, held on Thursday October 8<\/strong> and which was titled \u201c\u201cNew tools for the development of varieties and plant material\u201d,<\/em><\/strong> It was inaugurated by Ra\u00fal Calleja, director of Fruit Attraction and Gonzaga Ruiz de Gauna, manager of BIOVEGEN.
