At last week's 2024 Salinas Biological Summit, the Platform10 Global Partner Network was formally launched on Day 2.

Peter Wren-Hilton, Platform10 co-founder, moderated a panel discussion which included:

• Professor Richard Newcomb
  Chief Scientific Officer, Plant and Food Research (NZ)
• Dr. Louise Sutherland
  Project Development Director, Ceres Agri-Tech (UK)
• Dr Louise Thatcher
  Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO Agriculture and Food (Australia)
• Jesper Vibe-Hansen
  Minister-Counsellor, Food & Agriculture, Embassy of Denmark, Washington DC
  
• Livia Esterhazy
  Programme Director. A Lighter Touch (NZ)

The panel discussed the landscape for biological research, development and application in each country. The overriding message from the panelists was the importance of cross-border collaboration and the significant opportunity that the Platform10 initiative provided to support this.

Peter Wren-Hilton confirmed that over the coming months, more agreements would be signed with international partners to help build the global network.
