InnovAction Stage

Be the « InnovActor 2024 » and showcase your cutting-edge technologies 

Innovation plays a crucial role in driving progress within and around the European seed sector, driving advancements that are pivotal to addressing evolving challenges in agriculture and ensuring sustainable food production. The Euroseeds 2024 Congress launches the « Euroseeds2024 InnovAction Stage », a platform to showcase the latest innovations that have the potential to reshape the future of the seed industry in Europe and beyond.

Start-ups, SMEs and public-private partnerships are offered a unique opportunity to join an international competition and spotlight their latest cutting edge technologies, products, and services and to be selected as  »Euroseeds2024 InnovActor ».

At the heart of the InnovAction Stage is the opportunity for selected companies to deliver concise, impactful presentations lasting a maximum of 10 minutes, followed by a short interactive Q&A session of 15 minutes. These sessions will take place on a dedicated stage, seamlessly integrated into the congress’s exhibition and trade area, optimizing visibility and engagement for presenters and attendees alike.
