Biopesticides Europe 2026

Memo

Biopesticides Europe 2026 brings together the full biological crop protection value chain to focus on turning regulatory change, climate pressure and market demand into real, scalable opportunities for biologicals. Across two days on the 10th & 11th June in Amsterdam, the conference examines how evolving EU rules, the withdrawal of key chemical actives and growing sustainability expectations are reshaping R&D priorities, product portfolios and commercial strategies for both traditional agrochemical players and specialist biologicals companies. Delegates will hear practical case studies on building robust, field-ready biopesticide products, navigating complex regulatory pathways, and driving confident adoption at farm level through better performance, positioning and stewardship. The programme blends strategic market insight with technical depth, addressing issues such as microbial stability, formulation and fermentation advances, data and field trial requirements, and how to position biologicals as reliable tools alongside (or instead of) conventional chemistry. Sessions will also explore logistics, storage and distribution constraints, commercial models with distributors and retailers, and the realities of integrating biologicals into crop protection programmes in different European markets.
