We are delighted to announce our second acib Mini-Symposium of a series entitled “SciTech Connect”, a platform event designed to foster collaboration between industry and academia. This time we would like to focus on

Biotechnology in Food & Feed.

Let’s discuss where biotechnological approaches are suitable for a sustainable food and/or feed production. Our program combines insightful presentations from leading companies and innovative startups, a keynote address focusing on advances in feed biotechnology, and cutting-edge scientific talks. Be part of the interactive discussion at topic tables in smaller groups, where delegates can engage directly with speakers and experts to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives and explore innovative solutions.
Let us bridge the gap between research and industrial application to shape the future of sustainable food and feed systems.
