Talent on Tour 2022

On the 12th of May the AgTech Institute will organize the first 'AgTech Talent on Tour'. During this event a selected group of Master students will visit 3 companies: KeyGene, Koppert Biological Systems and Koppert Cress.

• KeyGene is the go-to plant research company for technological innovations for crop improvement. Its facilities have state-of-the-art laboratories focused on next generation sequencing, cell and tissue culture and plant phenotyping. KeyGene’s greenhouses and growth room facilities are equipped for advanced plant and food research.
• Koppert Biological Systems supports growers in more than 100 countries to successfully apply sustainable growing methods to improve plant health, both above and underground. It creates natural enemies such as bumblebees for pollination, microbials, and biostimulants that support, protect, and strengthen crops as alternative for chemical.
• Koppert Cress is always on the lookout for natural, innovative ingredients which chefs can use to intensify the flavour, aroma, or presentation of their dishes; products that meet the increasingly stringent requirements of restaurants worldwide. The assortment consists of freshly-sprouted seedlings (cresses) and other edible leaves and flowers (specialties) from 100% natural aromatic plants.
