SGGW attended the “Start-ups at the Palace” conference
Scientists, doctoral students and heads of SGGW units engaged in innovative technology deployment in the agri-food sector took part in the seventh edition of the “Start-ups at the Palace” conference, held at the Presidential Palace on 9 May 2024.
The main topic of the conference was technological innovation in the agri-food industry.
The meeting was attended by young founders, start-up and experienced business delegates launching innovative technological solutions for years, and representatives of start-up hubs and higher education institutions.
The event aimed to demonstrate the changes occurring in Polish agriculture thanks to the innovations and the role of start-ups in that process. The idea was to draw attention to the importance of intellectual property protection, regarding new technologies implemented in startup ventures.
