The Euroseeds InnovAction Stage is a new platform that shines a spotlight on the latest innovations reshaping the future of the seed industry in Europe and beyond. This year’s event will focus on cutting-edge technologies in the areas of modern plant breeding, crop resilience, quality improvement, and data-driven decision-making in breeding.
Dr. Beetham added, “By increasing the speed and efficiency by which new plant traits are brought to market, we are empowering the seed industry to deliver solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing agriculture. With the broad applicability of Cibus’ RTDS across crops, the potential of these technologies is endless in terms of its ability to improve on-farm productivity and enable a more resilient and sustainable agri-food system. From crops that are better able to withstand disease pressure and the evolving effects of climate change, to nutrient use efficiency, to agronomic traits that improve yield and beyond, we are delivering technology that enables our customers to innovate faster. Cibus is the solution for accelerated plant breeding.”
