As part of the movement of the accelerated transformation of global agriculture towards sustainable development, the agrochemical formulation industry is undergoing an unprecedented technological revolution and value reshaping. When green chemistry redefines molecular design criteria, when an AI large model overturns traditional R&D routes, when terminal demand directly drives product innovation, and when precision agriculture reconstructs boundaries of application scenarios – we are witnessing a new era of multidisciplinary integration and collaborative innovation across the entire value chain.
This technology-driven industrial transformation not only changes the R&D logic and production method of agrochemical formulations, but also redefines the competition landscape and development paradigm of the whole industry. The development of modern agrochemical formulations is no longer a simple formula optimization, but is a systematic innovation integrating material science, digital technology, application ecology and business models.
The 6th Ag Formulation & Application Technology Congress (FAT 2025), hosted by AgroPages, will be held in Hangzhou, China, November 13-14, 2025. This Congress will continue to uphold the core concept of "Global Vision, Local Innovation ", with the theme of "Technological Leapfrogging, Winning Globally with Intelligence", confronting the wave of AI and digital intelligence technology, deeply analyze the challenges and opportunities across the agrochemical formulation industry chain, explore breakthrough innovation routes throughout the entire industry chain, and inject strong impetus into the leapfrog development of the agrochemical formulation industry.
As a flagship event in the global agrochemical formulation industry, FAT is dedicated to building a world-leading platform for technology innovation exchanges and industrial collaboration. The event has built itself into a comprehensive value chain platform for technical innovation, product application and technology commercialization, bringing together decision-making elites from global innovative technology enterprises, multinational companies and scientific research institutions.
Since its inception, FAT is set to continue addressing forward-looking topics, practical solutions and promotion of collaborative innovation practices, which enables FAT to become an authoritative agricultural innovation platform. As of today, the event has attracted the presence of more than 550 enterprises and institutions from 50-plus countries and regions around the world, having become an important engine to drive the transformation and upgrading of the global agrochemical formulation industry.
