We’re excited to share that NextGenBioPest was recently featured at FOOD EXPO 2025, the leading food and beverage trade exhibition in Southeast Europe, held in Athens on March 8th-10th, 2025.


The Prefecture of Crete presented the project as part of its commitment to promoting innovation and sustainability in agricultural practices. The exhibition offered an excellent platform to showcase how NextGenBioPest is advancing crop protection through environmentally friendly, next-generation solutions.


Attended by thousands of industry professionals, FOOD EXPO provided the ideal setting to highlight the project’s mission: reducing chemical pesticide use while supporting productive, resilient, and sustainable food systems. Visitors learned about our innovative toolkit, including biological control agents, RNA-based pesticides, and integrated pest management strategies tailored for key fruit and vegetable crops.


We thank the Prefecture of Crete for helping raise awareness of our work and for representing NextGenBioPest at one of Europe’s most prominent agri-food events.
