Intro to ABIC
The Agricultural
Biotechnology International Conference
is one of the most important conferences on agricultural biotechnology.
The Conference was set up in Canada in 1996
by the ABIC Foundation, and will
now be held for the first time outside Canada. Scientists, industrial
managers, investors and policy
makers
will
come together
for an intensive
exchange
of
experience
in order
to
give new momentum to further the development of agricultural biotechnology.
This unique global forum has been created for
the discussion of results from research and development in order
to enable co-operations
between
academic research institutes and partners from industry so
that the transfer of laboratory results to industrial scale may
be accelerated.
This high level conference aims to bring 'AgBiotech back to
Europe'. With the imminent lift of the de facto moratorium
on genetically modified food, the implementation of new European
regulations and a more competitive European market, this conference
is important as
ever to give
new impulses
to
the European AgBiotech research and AgBiotech business in
Europe.
