Driving the BioAg community through regulatory frameworks and providing opportunity for investment & innovation

Why Attend

Developing BioAg products brings with it various demands and challenges - for example complying with regulation, managing resistance, formulation compatibility of ingredients and scale up challenges.

Agbio Innovate USA aims to address regulatory hurdles that directly impact the biopesticide and biostimulant sector in North America as well as explores formulation technology and R&D advances with insight from industry leaders.

We also address the exciting rise of AgTech and the future of vertical farming.
With application technology advancing, formulations and products need to adapt to meet the future needs of farmers and growers.

  • Direct answers to your regulatory challenges with unparalleled guidance sessions on the EPA's regulatory requirements under FIFRA that are applicable to biopesticides and biostimulants

  • Create BioAg commercialization  opportunities by building R&D and investment partnerships - network with 80+ industry representatives including ABM, Bayer, BioConsortia, Marrone Bio Innovations and many more
