Meet Hudson River at BIOTECH Attraction: NGT Regulations and Unlocking New Crop Value
"With new NGT regulations coming into force across Europe, plant genome editing is moving into a new commercial phase. As regulatory changes reduce uncertainty, breeders, trait companies, and other plant innovators are beginning to investigate how they can unlock new value in their crops.
At Fruit Attraction's BIOTECH Attraction event on the 6th of October, Hudson River Biotechnology will take the stage to discuss what this new regulatory landscape means for the development and commercialisation of genome-edited plant crops, and how the practical reality of NGTs should inform the crop-development strategies of plant innovators.
They will also dive into the harder questions presented by these changes: how can companies best make use of these changes and leverage technology to unlock new commercial value in their varieties? Making edits in plant crops is no longer the main constraint. For breeders, the challenge is getting useful edits into their elite varieties and breeding lines; for trait companies, a promising trait or target only starts delivering value once it is validated and deployed into germplasm that reaches the market. Building the capability in-house that can deliver this is slow, expensive and risky.
Hudson River Biotechnology has spent over a decade building genome-editing and plant regeneration capabilities, enabling their partners to turn ambition into commercially viable programmes. Their new BioMaas platform is designed to shorten the time between scientific ambition and useful evidence, apply genome editing across breeding programmes rather than one variety or crop at a time, and deliver at scale. Customers gain access to the capability to edit directly in elite commercial varieties, along with specialist editing and regeneration expertise, and trait knowledge - all delivered by a team known for transparent science and delivering what they promise.
If you're interested to hear more about the new regulatory framework in Europe and what new opportunities this unlocks for you, meet Hudson River at BIOTECH Attraction at 16:00 on the 6th of October and join for afterwork drinks at 17:00 by the Hudson River stand at Hall 5 Stand 5A15A."
