The Plant Biologicals Network
The Plant Biologicals Network was originally formed by a number of key players with the purpose of facilitating knowledge exchange on research, innovation, regulation, and education within the field of plant biologicals. Additionally the network aims at creating awareness on the future for these promising new technologies.
In 2024 the PBN expanded its geographical focus to encompass Nordic countries and the Baltic states. This has been done as part of a realisation of the explosive demand for nature-based alternatives to pesticides and for climate resilient crops worldwide. Our overall purpose is to make sure biologicals is a part of the world communities focus on how the agro-industry can adapt to the societal challenges and boundaries within environment and food. Our contribution to this is in relation to agricultural production and the environment by generating new business opportunities, improving agricultural production through knowledge exchanges, and by attracting talent to a growing business area.
The geographical area covered by the PBN houses a number of leading academic institutions prominent in this area of research as well as headquarters or R&D activities for a number of commercial players. The region has the preconditions to become a globally significant technology hub within the development of plant biologicals.
