InnovPlantProtect (InPP) is celebrating its 6th anniversary this Friday, 24 January, from 2.30pm until 5pm, at its headquarters located at the National Plant Breeding Station, INIAV’s polo in Elvas.
The event will bring together InPP members, policy-makers, representatives of other agri-food CoLABs, producer organisations and farmers to mark a new phase for InPP, characterised by growth, expansion and consolidation of the brand, and the development of new technologies, products and services with a strong technological and innovative component that will make a difference in addressing the various challenges of agricultural crop protection.
The welcome session will start at 3pm and feature a speech by António Saraiva, the new executive director of InPP, who started the job in December 2024. At 3.10pm, there will be a session called ‘What innovation is produced at InPP?’.
