“Together for Food Safety – Knowledge and Industry Partnership” – conference of Wrocław Technology Park
November 21, 2025, Wrocław, Poland
As part of its promotion and outreach activities aimed at strengthening cooperation between science and industry, the INBIOWAL project participated in the conference “Together for Food Safety – Knowledge and Industry Partnership”, a conference organized by Wrocław Technology Park.
The event brought together representatives of academia, industry, innovation ecosystems, and public administration to discuss current challenges and future directions in ensuring food safety through effective knowledge transfer and cross-sector collaboration.
AbOUT THE CONFERENCE
The conference focused on building resilient and secure food systems by fostering partnerships between research institutions and industrial stakeholders. The program was structured around two main thematic blocks:
Knowledge and Industry Partnership
This session addressed mechanisms supporting cooperation between science and business, including innovation clusters, strategic partnerships, and platforms facilitating the commercialization of research results. Discussions highlighted the importance of long-term collaboration for sustainable development of the agri-food sector.Food Safety in Practice
Expert presentations and a panel discussion explored practical aspects of food security, including access to strategic raw materials, crisis preparedness, regulatory frameworks, and interdisciplinary approaches to risk management in food systems.
In addition to the scientific and expert sessions, the conference provided networking opportunities, B2B meetings, and guided tours of the technological infrastructure and laboratories available at Wrocław Technology Park.
