SpainThere are several projects in which Grupo Agrotecnología works together with the University of Granada, whose lines of research focus on the development of novel systems for the production of microorganisms, disease control agents and promoters of plant growth, as well as new Formulation beneficial to soil-plant systems and development of new products .
Grupo Agrotechnology, as its Director General Enrique Riquelme explains, "believes in the symbiosis between university research and the productive sector, since the benefits are mutual. On the one hand, scientists can see their research into products and their commercialization, while the company can offer new sustainable biotechnological solutions in an increasingly competitive market.
For companies, it is more productive and integral to collaborate with the scientific community, rather than locking themselves in R & D in their own centers, argues Nikolay Bojkov Vassilev, Industrial Microbiologist and Professor at the University of Granada; Who explains that this university has been collaborating with Grupo Agrotecnología since 2015 and that they have open different lines of research in the field of protection and stimulation of crops, as well as new formulas beneficial to the soil, with the purpose of making an agriculture Greener and more wasteful 0.
There is no doubt, as Professor Vassilev explains, that "science offers private companies new technologies developed at the laboratory level with the possibility of transferring them to a productive scale, thereby increasing the sustainability of the entire production chain". There, in the words of Professor Vassilev, "agreements and agreements with private companies mean transfers of knowledge and results at a practical level and for companies means an increase of competitiveness, compared to competitors, thanks to the scientific variant of their products."
