At a critical stage in the ongoing green transformation of global agriculture, biologicals are being integrated into sustainable development systems at an unprecedented strategic level. To further facilitate efficient connections of global innovation resources and accelerate the transformation process of biologicals from research to field applications, AgroPages will grandly hold the 7th Biopesticides, Biostimulants and Biofertilizers Summit (BioEx 2026) in Shanghai on March 12-13, 2026.
Under the core theme of "Connecting Global Innovation Resources, Accelerating Biologicals Application," this Summit will focus on technological breakthroughs, policy coordination, market expansion, and practical implementation in the biologicals sector. In-depth discussions will be conducted around key topics including cross-border R&D collaboration, technology transfer mechanisms, regional market access, and demonstration project promotion, driving the establishment of a more open, efficient, and collaborative global biologicals innovation network.
As an internationally influential event in the global biologicals sector, the BioEx Summit Series has always been dedicated to building a high-end dialogue platform and global cooperation hub that integrates industry, academia, research, and application. BioEx 2026 will continue to bring together scholars from leading global research institutions, policymakers, business leaders, innovative technology teams, and international channel partners to jointly explore how to integrate R&D resources, optimize industrial chain collaboration, overcome application bottlenecks, and achieve rapid deployment and large-scale application of biologicals globally in the context of globalization.
To date, BioEx has successfully attracted participants from over 800 companies and institutions across 64 countries and regions worldwide, gradually establishing a global resource ecosystem covering the entire biologicals industry chain. We believe that driven by both global collaboration and innovation, BioEx 2026 will become an important milestone in advancing the industry toward a new stage of "Innovation without Borders, Application with Purpose."
