We invite you to visit the booth of the Institute of Molecular Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences at POLAGRA 2021, which will be held on October 4-6 at the Poznań International Fair. We will present the potential of using modern experimental methods in the area of food science and food supplies.

POLAGRA is an event with the longest business tradition in Poland. An undoubted advantage of the fair is its diversity (food-foodtech-horeca), which enables presenting products and solutions both for the food industry (food) and new technologies in food production (foodtech), as well as solutions that improve the sector of the foodservice industry (horeca).

The formula of the fair combines meetings and training, culinary workshops, tastings, and contests. The main event will be the "POLAGRA EXPORT MEETING", the congress supported by the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology.
