ABIC 2004 - AgBiotech goes Europe
ABIC is a conference on agricultural biotechnology. Scientists, industrial
managers, investors and policy makers will come together for an intensive
exchange of experience in order to give new momentum to further development
of agricultural biotechnology. This forum has been created for the
discussion of results from research and development in order to enable
co-operations between academic institutions and partners from the
industry so that the transfer of laboratory results to industrial
scale may be accelerated. Aside from that, the event will serve as
an information forum for the public in respect to the subject “biotechnology”.
