The European regulatory framework for New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) in plants is evolving, bringing new opportunities and challenges for innovation and intellectual property protection.

How will these changes impact the agri-food sector and the patent landscape in Europe?

EU regulation and its implementation
Key challenges and latest developments

The webinar will take place on Thursday, November 26, 2026, from 9:30 to 10:10 a.m. CET and will be held online via Microsoft Teams in English.
