Business Meets Science Event 16 December 2025. Don't miss it!
Innovation begins where science and practice meet! That is why we warmly invite you to the Business Meets Science Event on Tuesday, 16 December, at Omnia in Wageningen.
During this inspiring afternoon, you will discover what is happening now — and what lies ahead — in the Dutch poultry sector. Researchers from Wageningen Livestock Research (WLR) and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) will share their latest insights and ideas for future developments through short, engaging pitches.
Topics covered include among others:
- Early nutrition and its impact on chick development
- The artificial broody hen
- “Happiness sounds” of chickens and what they tell us
- Measuring individual behaviour using sensors
- … and several other innovative pilot projects from science and practice
Whether you are a CEO, product developer, nutritionist, or entrepreneur — this is the perfect moment to connect with fellow professionals and collaborate on forward-thinking solutions for the poultry sector of the future. An afternoon full of inspiration, knowledge sharing, and new opportunities. Don’t miss it!
