Novel Pesticides

Building on the success of our 2024 edition, Novel Pesticides 2026 will once again unite regulators, policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders to discuss the next generation of sustainable plant protection in Europe. As demand grows for low-risk and innovative solutions from microbial products and pheromones to RNAi technologies, peptides, and antibodies – the need for regulatory frameworks that keep pace with innovation has never been greater.

Join us to explore the latest scientific breakthroughs, regulatory updates since 2024, and real-world experiences from both applicants and authorities. This conference offers a forward-looking platform to align innovation, regulation, and sustainability – and to help ensure that novel pesticides can fully contribute to the EU’s long-term agricultural and environmental objectives.
