Biopesticides Europe 2026
2026-06-10 - 2026-06-11 | Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands
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 10 th & 11 th 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.

The European Carbon Dioxide Utilisation Summit returns with a renewed focus on accelerating the growth of the CCU industry. Bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators, the summit serves as a key platform for driving progress toward a more sustainable, low-carbon future.
Through in-depth discussions and expert-led sessions, the event will examine cutting-edge
technologies, emerging business models, and scalable strategies that support the industrial
deployment of CO₂ utilisation solutions. Attendees will gain insights into the latest developments shaping markets, investment pathways, and policy landscapes.
Designed to foster meaningful collaboration, the summit offers a unique opportunity to connect with stakeholders at the forefront of energy, industrial decarbonisation, and climate innovation. Join us to explore the evolving potential of carbon dioxide as a valuable resource and to help shape the next phase of the global climate agenda.
CO₂ utilisation is entering the only phase that matters: commercial scale. And that’s exactly when most projects get killed – by financing, offtake risk and regulatory fog. 23rd–24th September 2026 in Rotterdam will become the meeting point for the people who can remove those blockers.
