The WBF India Chapter was established on 9th December 2019. The WBF aims to continue the work of the global organization within India and abroad, by

Building bridges between academia and industry by encouraging R&D collaboration.
Creating awareness about the need for and importance of bioprotectants in BioAg at all levels.
Encouraging the development of next-generation formulation and delivery systems.
Encouraging the development of next-generation formulation and delivery systems.
Educating innovators and entrepreneurs about raising investment for start-ups and SMEs, while working to create more general investor interest in this sector.
Supporting start-ups and disruptors in attracting investment and early adopters.

Creating Opportunities Bringing Together BioAg Leaders

WBS-India will bring these messages to the Indian BioAg/Agritech sectors, with international experts who can help companies in India to expand their networks and achieve their goals. Researchers engaged in development, improvement and adoption will discuss the current constraints and possible solutions through focused R&D efforts. New research will be presented in oral and poster presentations. The event will gather Innovators, Academics, Manufacturers, Agronomists, Technical managers, IPM practitioners and End-users in the BioProtection sector, at the highly reputed Sharda University in India. This year’s event has two main objectives:

Benefits of Attending

India is among the fast-growing economies in the world. However, the growth and innovation in Bioprotection sector, is hampered by costly and lengthy regulatory processes, and limited availability of quality products and novel formulations for farmers. Similar problems prevail in most developing counties. The WBF is working to reform regulatory requirements for Bioprotection products and encourage the uptake of global reviews that enable access to broader markets quickly. The WBF is committed to encourage innovation through collaboration by enabling and strengthening partnerships between Industry and Academia across the globe.
