Biopesticides Europe 2021
ACI’s Biopesticides Europe 2021 will be taking place on 9th & 10th June 2021 in Brussels, Belgium.
The Global and European biopesticides market has been growing steadily in recent years. With increasing restrictions regarding traditional biocontrol tools and a growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices, biopesticides are expected to keep growing and become an essential biocontrol tool for farmers all over Europe. Nonetheless, regulations and registration continue to pose a significant challenge for their commercialisation.
This two day event will bring together key industry stakeholders, researchers and representatives from regulatory bodies to discuss current challenges and future opportunities within the industry.
The conference will also provide insights and updates on market growth along with significant advances in technologies and R&D projects.
Join us in Brussels to exchange your point of view with your peers and engage in excellent networking opportunities.

At MONAS technology our mission is to search for novel technological approaches and preparations that will improve the crop yields, in the long term, while contributing to the crop protection against diseases. We focus on developing original preparations based on beneficial soil bacteria that act as fungal pathogen antagonists while positively affecting the physical properties of the soil and contributing to the soil-nutrient cycle.
Now we are working on 2 very promising new bio-products against 1. pathogenic bacteria in plants and 2. improvment of plant health by leaf treatment against pathogenic fungi.
The simultaneous complex activity against plant pathogens while improving soil nutrients accessibility, degradation of pesticides, and uptake by the cultivated plants belongs among the main advantages of our microbial preparations.
We manufacture our products in the Czech Republic and sell them to our customers directly, or in collaboration with several distributors.

Corbion is the global market leader in lactic acid and its derivatives, and a leading supplier of emulsifiers, functional enzyme blends, and minerals. We use our unique expertise in fermentation and other processes to deliver sustainable solutions for the preservation of food and food production, health, and our planet.
PURASOLV® green solvents are a range of lactate esters that provide superior solvency, allowing for more efficient, high-performing agrochemical formulations. These solvents help agrochemical manufacturers create crop protection formulations with high active load, including emulsion concentrates (EC), dispersible concentrates (DC) and oil dispersions (OD). The PURASOLV range enables the development of more complete products combining multiple actives, or the reformulation of existing products to deliver greater benefits.
PURASOLV lactate esters give formulators a biobased alternative to conventional solvents that is safe for plants, people and the environment, without compromising performance. Having a safe, non-toxic solvent that is in alignment with the direction of regulatory change allows formulators to expand their toolkit while reducing the risk of early product withdrawal from the market.
At Corbion, we have an unquenchable passion for co-creating with our partners: we know that truly ground-breaking products and technologies happen when we combine our respective strengths and creativity.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:
• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions
Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
ACI is doing everything to ensure that all its events go ahead as advertised, returning to the much-missed and valuable face-to-face interaction as soon as possible. In order to ensure the events are delivered as safely as possible, venues are chosen and procedures are adjusted in line with the relevant local and regulations and guidelines.
These have been exceptionally challenging times with very fast-moving updates. As we get closer to an event we look at each one individually, paying careful heed to local regulations, but without ignoring the international situation. Whatever happens, ACI will safeguard the investments that attendees have made by either automatically moving it to the new dates of the event or a full credit will be provided for use when booking a future ACI event.
