From 13-15 October Euroseeds held its 2019 Congress in Stockholm, Sweden. This year’s event set a new record of presence! With an attendance of more than 1100 participants from almost 50 countries across the world, the importance of this congress for the European and international seed sector was once more confirmed. And for the first time this year, our new name, branding and logo Euroseeds was showcased!
