We will hold the 16th NU Tech Roundtable on September 23rd. The theme for this event is "Adaptive plant strategies for environmental stress."
The purpose of NU Tech Roundtable is to promote the commercialization of new technologies and strengthen collaboration and networks between academia and industry.
This time, it will be a valuable opportunity for university researchers and North Carolina companies to gather together and share insights on innovative agricultural biotechnology.
This event will be held as part of the 40th anniversary commemoration of the academic partnership between Nagoya University and North Carolina State University. We will welcome researchers from Nagoya University and North Carolina State University to present cutting-edge research findings and technological trends.
Building on 40 years of academic exchange history, please join this roundtable to further deepen academic dialogue and collaboration toward a sustainable agricultural future. We sincerely look forward to your attendance.
