ABIM – Where the Global Biocontrol Community Comes Together

ABIM (Annual Biocontrol Industry Meeting) is the premier global event for the biocontrol industry — the place where innovation is unveiled, new products are launched, market opportunities are shaped, and the latest research and regulatory developments are discussed.

Every October, 2000 delegates from over 60 countries gather at the Congress Center Basel in Switzerland. Representing over 800 companies and organisations worldwide, participants connect, exchange expertise, and gain valuable insights into the latest developments in the global biocontrol market.

Since 2006, ABIM has been internationally recognised as the key meeting point for professionals driving sustainable crop protection and biological solutions forward.

Presentations from ABIM 2026 are now available for download in the Attendee Hub.
