• Industry Associations, Consultants and Market Intelligence Providers: Trade associations, independent consultants, market analysts and advisory organisations providing strategic insight into market trends, regulation and commercial opportunities within the European biostimulants sector.
• Senior Decision-Makers Across the Sector: Consistent with previous editions, attendees include Chief Executive Officers, Managing Directors, Vice Presidents, Directors, Heads of Research & Development, Regulatory Affairs Leaders, Commercial Directors, Agronomy Managers, Product Managers, Innovation Leaders, Sustainability Specialists and Business Development professionals responsible for driving scientific innovation, commercial growth and strategic decision-making across the biostimulants industry.

The 2026 edition of ACI’s Biostimulants Europe Summit brought together senior representatives from across the European biostimulants industry to examine the scientific, regulatory and commercial developments shaping the future of biological crop inputs. Over two days of presentations, panel discussions and networking, delegates explored how biostimulants are supporting more sustainable and resilient agricultural systems while delivering measurable value to growers.

Scientific Innovation and Agronomic Performance

A central theme of the conference was the latest scientific advances in biostimulant development and their practical application in modern agriculture. Speakers explored topics including plant physiology, microbial technologies, nutrient-use efficiency and soil health, highlighting how biological solutions are helping improve crop performance under increasingly challenging environmental conditions.

Regulation and Market Development

The programme also examined the evolving European regulatory landscape, with discussions focusing on product registration, efficacy requirements and the implementation of the EU Fertilising Products Regulation. Delegates gained valuable insight into how regulatory developments are influencing innovation, product development and commercialisation across the European market.

Commercial Adoption and Grower Value

Throughout the conference, speakers demonstrated how biostimulants are moving beyond scientific research to become an integral part of modern crop production. Sessions explored strategies for improving return on investment, reducing dependence on conventional fertilisers and supporting the wider adoption of biological products through strong field performance and practical agronomic evidence.

Collaboration Across the Value Chain

The summit provided an opportunity for manufacturers, researchers, agronomists, regulatory specialists, distributors and growers to exchange knowledge and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the industry. By bringing together expertise from across the value chain, the conference encouraged collaboration and practical discussion around the future development of the European biostimulants market.

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.
