AgTech matchmaking between Flanders & Wallonia
To strengthen collaboration across Belgium, Biovia is organising a matchmaking event that brings together the Flemish and Walloon AgTech ecosystems, with a strong focus on (bio)tech innovation in agriculture. This event aims to foster mutual understanding, identify opportunities for structured matchmaking, stimulate R&D collaboration, and enhance international visibility.
For this initiative, Biovia partners with Wagralim, whose strong and complementary network in primary production brings significant added value to the collaboration. The event represents the first step in a strategic roadmap to build long-term collaboration between strong regions, generating shared and positive impact at national and international level.
