23 Sept 2026

Main Stage
  • How will differing regulatory approaches, between regions already cultivating gene-edited crops and more restrictive markets, shape global trade and market access?
  • How is the competitive landscape evolving as some countries move into commercial cultivation while others remain in trial or policy transition?
  • How do approval speed, regulatory certainty, and policy direction determine where gene-edited crops are scaled and deployed?
  • What factors will ultimately determine leadership in the gene-editing landscape over the next decade - scientific capability, regulatory agility, or the ability to move from lab to field at scale?
