Growing markets means growing opportunities – in the next five years the biopesticide market is set to be worth 8.82 billion and the biostimulant market at 2.91 billion – there’s no better time to refresh your knowledge and stay ahead of the trend

From concept to vision – join 100+ experts from the BioAg industry to hear how you can overcome the key challenges within these growing markets and maximise the new opportunities plant health and biocontrol present.

Learn, share and network over industry hot topics:

• Strategising for success – biocontrol investment & planning
• Overcoming uncertainty – regulation frameworks, obstacles & solutions
• Licensing & commercialization – efficient & effective routes to market
• The future & use of AgTech in farming
• Blending biology & chemistry – the relationship between chemicals & biologics
• Science hurdles – current challenges within the R&D
• Top trends – agrochemicals, seeds, fertilizers & biologic

Co-located with AgFutures: Investment & Strategy, you also have the option to upgrade and hear more about the rise in merger and acquisitions, as well as strategizing a successful product portfolio.

Help sustain agriculture, help growers increase yield and ultimately help feed a growing population. Maximizing the opportunities in these growing markets makes the world of difference – literally!

The third Global Summit of Pest Management Services for Public Health and Food Safety, presented by NPMA and the Confederation of European Pest Management Associations (CEPA), will be held June 4-6, 2018 at the Hotel Cascais Miragem in Portugal. Participants will address emerging issues and evaluate – with clients and other relevant stakeholders – which action steps are required to respond to these future needs.

Following success of the previous events in Barcelona and Madrid, ACI is pleased to announced that the 3rd Biopesticides Europe Conference will take place on the 6th and 7th of June in the Netherlands, Amsterdam. The Global and European biopesticides market has continued to grow significantly over past few years. With increased direction from the authorities and growing demand for sustainable agriculture it is certain that biopesticides market will continue to experience unprecedented growth.

The two day event will bring together key industry stakeholders from the biopesticides industry to discuss the challenges faced and the future opportunities. Conference will discuss the current overview of the markets, with highlights from experts on the progression of the biopesticides market and new insights and innovation of projects in pipeline.

The conference will also have insights from end-use markets giving updates on market growth drivers along with sustainable advancements in technologies and R&D projects.

Confirmed Topics of Discussion Include:

• Examining where the opportunities for market growth lay within the European Union and developing markets and strategies on how to capitalise on them effectively.
• Challenges and opportunities for Integrated Pest Management with the use of biopesticides In the European Union and emerging markets.
• Project case studies: Pre-commercialisation – Early stage developments in the labs.
• Developments with creating hybrid products using biopesticides and conventional chemistry.
• European Union regulation outlook.
• Recommended scientific approach to achieve a successful registration.
• Diversification and innovation strategies in the biopesticide industry.
• Successful partnerships, acquisitions and mergers and the impact they have on the industry.
• Next generation technology for design and development of new biologicals

Following our success with the previous and upcoming editions of the Biopesticides Europe Conference, ACI is organising the Biopesticides North America 2018 Conference, which will be taking place in Vancouver, Canada, on 27th — 28th June 2018.

The two day event will bring together key industry stakeholders from the agriculture and chemicals industry, manufacturers and suppliers of crop protection and biological control products, farming associations, market analysts and consultants, technology providers, policy regulators & government representatives, academia and research laboratories.

Confirmed Topics for Discussion Include:

• Boosting consistency and the augmentations required in developing more efficient products.
• Policy and regulation updates needed to facilitate the registration process.
• Developing solutions that can work more efficiently in conjunction with the use of synthetic products.
• Formulation technologies serving the development process.
• Technical requirements to improve performance of micro-organisms.
• Plant health analysis following administration of diverse pest management solutions.
• Administering biological control products as a preventive measure rather than a curative one

Why Attend

From Concept to Vision: Commercializing Biopesticides and Biostimulants to Sustain Agriculture, Increase Yields and Help Feed a Growing Population

The Agbio Innovate Latam is returning to Brazil after a successful launch in 2017.

Biopesticides and biostimulants / biofertilizers are growing in demand. With Latin America being a world hub for agriculture it is no surprise that these products are seeing rapid growth. Agbio Innovate LATAM is focussed on R&D, regulation and commercialization of biopesticides and biofertilizers/ biostimulants / biofertilizers in Latin America, and unites key stakeholders across the globe.

FAOPMA’s annual conference is an international event for pest control industry in Asia and Oceania
region. FAOPMA has held 27 conferences in various countries since it was established until 2016. These
conferences had lasting positive impact on the pest control industry. In 2016, with the joint efforts of all
member countries, the two major international conferences-FAOPMA and Pest Summit-were integrated,
and FAOPMA-PEST SUMMIT 2017 was successfully held in Thailand with overwhelmingly positive
feedback, far-reaching international influences and high level of satisfactions from all participants.

2018 is the second year after the integration of FAOPMA and Pest Summit, and it is China’s second
term as the seat of Chairperson of FAOPMA. 2018 will be the year for this great industry event to return to China after 9 years.

Joint Conference between FAOPMA and Pest Summit with Unprecedented Exposure

2nd WIN international Conference on “Integrated approaches and innovative tools for combating insecticide resistance in arbovirus vectors”

Organized jointly by the French Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) and Duke-NUS Medical School of Singapore, the conference will serve as a forum for addressing the progress, research gaps and priorities for the control of vectors of emerging arboviruses and the management of insecticide resistance. The conference has been labelled ‘‘France-Singapore Year of Innovation 2018″.

The conference will facilitate the involvement of scientists, stakeholders, members of the private and public sectors, and decision makers from around the world to share knowledge and ideas and to provide recommendations for the improvement of insecticide resistance surveillance and deployment of innovative vector control tools.
