FAIRS AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES

Home  Ι  Activities  Ι  Fairs and outreach

Promoting our varieties, getting feedback, and networking are all important parts of our work. We attend specialised fairs where we promote our varieties and discuss with our partners. However, getting in touch with ordinary people is also very important to us. After all, it is apple consumers who give purpose to our work.

Meet us and our varieties at international fairs

Visiting professional fairs and conferences helps us keep abreast of current developments in our field. It allows us to improve our methods with a single goal: to breed high-quality apple varieties for you. Plus, it is always a great pleasure to have a talk with our business partners and see them promote our varieties.

Visit our events

At open days of the Institute of Experimental Botany in Prague (usually held in November), exhibitions, visits, and other events, we introduce ourselves to both professionals and laypeople. Our visitors can get a glimpse of how our breeding endeavour looks like, and that it is about much more than pollination and field work. Visit our events, learn more about our work and taste some of our varieties.
