A Community of Innovators
The CzechInvest Technology Incubation programme supports technology-based start-ups in the Czech Republic, and its meetups bring together the people who make up a young innovation ecosystem: founders at different stages, investors looking for promising ventures, and students considering entrepreneurial careers. For a research-based company like Preagon Biotech, which is developing environmentally friendly insecticides, such a community is a valuable place to share experience and to be seen.
Why This Audience Matters for NextGenBioPest
Sustainable crop protection depends on more than scientific discovery. New tools need entrepreneurs willing to develop them, investors ready to support them and a pipeline of talented young people to carry them forward. By speaking at this workshop, Preagon Biotech helped bring the story of green chemistry in pest management to precisely these groups.
The talk also highlighted a point that NextGenBioPest wants to make visible to the wider public: biopesticides and other eco-friendly pest control solutions are not only a research topic, but also a growing business opportunity with room for new companies and new careers.
Building on a Series of Entrepreneurial Engagements
This appearance follows Preagon Biotech's earlier participation in the event "Biotech Startup Founder: A Career Worth Pursuing" in Vestec, and its presentation among the successful technology transfer projects of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Together, these activities show a consistent effort to connect NextGenBioPest-related technologies with the Czech innovation community and to inspire the next generation of founders in sustainable agriculture.
