Exploring the Power of Public-Private Partnerships in Plant Variety Innovation 🌱🤝 🚀 What makes a partnership truly groundbreaking? At the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO), we’ve seen how Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have shaped the future of plant breeding and agricultural innovation. From addressing climate resilience to fostering sustainability, PPPs have brought together the best of both worlds: public research expertise and private sector dynamism. 💡 But here’s where you come in! We’re reaching out to you, our community of breeders, researchers, and innovators, to share your insights: 🌟 Which PPPs in plant breeding have inspired you the most? 🌍 What partnerships do you believe have had the biggest impact in Europe or beyond? 👉 A few examples to spark the conversation: ·       STELLAR™ apple variety: A climate-resilient innovation from Spain and New Zealand’s Hot Climate Partnership. ·       Disease-resistant grape varieties: Born from collaborations between France’s INRAE and private winegrowers. ·       True Potato Seed innovation: Developed through Dutch partnerships, tackling food security challenges. Table grapes resistant to diseases, seedless and with new flavours. Bred by ITUM grapes a partnership between a Public research institute and an association of table grape producers in the region of Murcia, Spain We’re eager to hear your thoughts and learn about other impactful PPPs you believe deserve the spotlight. 🌐 Together, we can uncover stories that highlight the power of collaboration in driving agricultural progress. 📩 Drop your comments below or tag someone whose work in PPPs deserves recognition.
