Seminar / information for attendees

Day 1-Agricultural Sector

Biocontrol contributes to reducing the use of chemical pesticides by being an alternative for the treatment of plant diseases.

Today they are a clear alternative for the agriculture sector and are consolidated in innovative solutions designed from substances of botanical origin (natural extracts) and/or microbial (biological control agents) for crop protection, or, in other words , the control of fungal and bacterial diseases.

We aim to encourage the debate about new challenges offered by plastic, such as improving the efficiency of treatments based on biocontrol. Thematic sessions:


- BLOCK 1: Biocontrol -Regulatory framework

- BLOCK 2: Mechanisms of action - Precise ecological agriculture

- BLOCK 3: Research Lines. Solutions to the main fungal and bacterial diseases.

- BLOCK 4: Market Registry. Success stories.

 

Day 2-Health Sector

 

The fight against microbes covers a wide range of sectors, with a special focus on Health and Food. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), multidrug-resistant microbes will be one of the ten biggest threats to humanity by 2050.

Currently, multi-level research is carried out to counter this threat, both in the detection, treatment, and prevention of related diseases.

During our discussions, new perspectives and opportunities in this field will be addressed.

A wide variety of topics will be tackled. Among them will be the implementation of new detectors to quickly identify bacterial outbreaks, the development of innovative pharmaceutical products to combat microorganisms, as well as the creation of new active materials in the plastic industry for disease prevention.

Join this event to discuss new challenges and opportunities that the Pharma sector and the Plastics sector face and learn about the complex problems posed by microbes and the new solutions on the horizon.

- BLOCK 1: Current challenges and regulatory framework

- BLOCK 2: Antimicrobial Solutions and trends

- BLOCK 3: New Research lines
