IJPB at the Agri-Food & Bioeconomy networking event of the Université Paris-Saclay Innovation Cluster Alliance

30 June 2026, from 1:30 pm, Agro Paris-Saclay Campus, Palaiseau
The Université Paris-Saclay Innovation Cluster Alliance is organising a day dedicated to agri-food and the bioeconomy innovation, bringing together researchers, entrepreneurs and industry representatives to foster synergies, stimulate new public-private partnerships, and showcase the technologies and expertise developed across the region. The event will focus on five key themes:
1- Sustainable Food and the Microbiome
2- Sustainable Crop Production Systems
3- Sustainable Livestock Farming and Animal Health
4- Sustainable Agricultural and Environmental Systems
5- Bioeconomy

Strong IJPB Participation
The IJPB will be strongly represented at the event, with four exhibition stands and five B2B meetings highlighting the diversity of its research and innovation activities.

Cluster 2 – Sustainable Crop Production Systems
IJPB Stand
Three major areas of research and innovation will be presented:
1- Development of new genomic techniques: from laboratory to field
2- Solutions for Agroecology:
> Service crops and the PARSADA METASERV project
> Development of biosolutions through the SeedBioPep pre-maturation project, as well as the MAMBO and SUPRASEED projects within the Grand Challenge on Biocontrol and Biostimulation for Agroecology
3- Advanced Modelling and Imaging for Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Plant Observatory Stand
Presentation of the resources, expertise and services offered by the Plant Observatory to support plant research and innovation.

Cluster 4 – Sustainable Agricultural and Environmental Systems
IJPB will present several innovation projects:
> AmFert: improving nitrogen fertilisation within a sustainable development framework.
> DIALOG and Camehameha: co-design approaches for the diversification of agricultural systems and plant breeding.

Cluster 5 – Bioeconomy
Bioproduction innovation at the IJPB will be showcased through two projects:
> ROSALIND (PEPR B-BEST): transforming lignin through innovative green chemistry.
> VYVALAVIDA (SPS'Junior Innov'): enhancing viral antigen expression for next-generation vaccines.

Meet the IJPB Teams During the B2B Meetings
> Pierre-François Perroud (MeioMe team) – Development of New Genomic Techniques
> Rozenn Le Hir (CATS team) – Foxtail Millet: A Forgotten Crop with Modern Potential
> Gabriel Van Den Broek (SAS team) – PARSADA METASERV Project
> Anaïs Bosc-Bierne (PHYGERM team) – SeedBioPep Project
> Chandrodhay Saccaram (PHYGERM team) and Ophélie Merzeaud (SEED-DREAM team), present alternatively – Biosolutions for Agroecology

We invite you to discover these innovations, meet the IJPB teams and explore new opportunities for collaboration in support of agricultural, environmental and industrial transitions.
