The WBF Research Foundation has a vision to promote bioprotection research and innovation as a means to achieve sustainable development, healthy ecosystems, and better protection of people and their livelihoods. The Foundation’s research mandate is broad, and it will initially focus on identifying microbial solutions in agriculture and the environment and will serve as a knowledge hub for academia, industry, and government stakeholders.
The mission of the WBF Research Foundation is to promote research and innovation in bioprotection, foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among stakeholders, and enable sustainable development, healthy ecosystems, and better protection of people and their livelihoods.
The purpose of the WBF Research Foundation is to drive the development and dissemination of innovative bioprotection solutions for the world’s most pressing agricultural and environmental challenges. The Foundation will lead and support research, promote collaboration and knowledge exchange, and provide a platform for engagement among stakeholders from diverse fields and backgrounds.
The Research Foundation aims to benefit the industry and commercial sector in several ways. Firstly, it will conduct research and development for the development of new technologies, products, and services. Secondly, it will serve as a knowledge hub for the industry and commercial sector, providing access to the latest research, data, and expertise in the field of bioprotection. Thirdly, it will facilitate networking and collaboration among industry players, academia, and other stakeholders in the bioprotection ecosystem.

The above skeleton is just a starting point that can be customized as needed. WBF will have the carriage for securing funds for the foundation and its initiatives.
The foundation will develop, lead and manage research initiatives consistent with its vision and mission. One of the primary initiatives is the establishment of a global consortium for microbial solutions in agriculture and the environment.
The business case for this initiative is to establish a global consortium for microbial solutions in agriculture and the environment. The consortium will bring together stakeholders from diverse backgrounds to collaborate on research and innovation in bioprotection. The consortium will focus on identifying microbial solutions to address the world’s most pressing agricultural and environmental challenges, including reducing the use of chemical pesticides, improving soil health, and mitigating climate change.
The WBF Research Foundation will play a crucial role in fostering innovation, promoting knowledge transfer, and facilitating collaboration in the bioprotection industry. It will lead to enhanced opportunities for commercialization and growth while ensuring equitable access to bioprotection solutions. It will serve as a catalyst for research and innovation in bioprotection, driving sustainable development, healthy ecosystems, and better protection of people and their livelihoods.
