Day of meetings around biosolutions

On May 19, 2024, IIS organized an exceptional day of meetings between companies and talent in the biosolutions sector. The aim: to encourage exchanges between students, PhD students, job seekers and innovative companies, to co-construct sustainable and resilient agriculture together.

The event, supported by Wagralim and the AgriBioCare network, attracted over 120 participants.

During the day, several companies and structures presented their opportunities for collaboration:

• Advagreen: looking for a PhD student and a technical sales representative with a good command of Flemish.
• Biocsol: open to Masters, PhD students and post-docs.
• Fyteko: offers internships in biology, biochemistry, logistics and process engineering, as well as in business development.
• Minagro: recruiting for 2026 in the regulatory, formulation and sales fields; also looking for a PhD student (solvent synthesis or biopesticides/biostimulants) and a master's degree in formulation.
• RRA: still looking for regulatory profiles, with the possibility of in-house training.
• ULB: offers three theses on plant-pathogen interactions, immune signaling, plant physiology and the production of bio-catalyzed biomaterials.
• Apeo: is looking for a quality manager, a field trial coordinator and interns.
• Agricells: offers an internship on a bioinsecticide project (molecular biology, protein production/purification).

Next, IFAPME presented the training courses available, particularly for sales agents.

The event closed with a convivial networking lunch, enabling candidates to meet directly with the companies present.
