The virtual Summit will focus on regulatory challenges, and calls for reform to create a regulatory environment that nurtures and supports the bioprotection sector.


Join them to hear the first-class speakers present and debate the need for reform, their visions for a successful regulatory system, and how the World BioProtection Forum (WBF) is working towards process reform in UK biopesticide regulation.  Click here for the agenda.


The Summit is the General Annual Meeting of the World BioProtection Forum and it's members.


Why Should I Attend?


During the COVID pandemic, our sector has been impacted by restrictions on practical research and funding, which have only added to pre-existing obstacles of regulatory hurdles, commercial uptake and formulation challenges. The WBF continues to stand for encouraging collaboration between the biocontrol industry, academia and public sector in the AgriTech sector. Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the UK Government’s recent declaration of support for science and technology by pushing for regulatory reform in Britain.


  • Bring together leading innovators and researchers in the biocontrol industry.

  • Bring together academia, industry and investors to encourage collaboration.

  • Confront the regulatory challenges facing the biocontrol industry.

  • Consider how the approvals process for new bioprotection products could be improved to provide a supportive, nurturing environment for innovators in this sector.

  • Hear a panel of leading experts discuss challenges and opportunities.


Join them on 6th July to be part of the change you want to see!  Registration opens mid-May.
