Partnering with St. The Gallen Symposium enables the Syngenta Group to discuss with current and future leaders from around the world how the use of regenerative and digital technologies in agriculture can improve soil quality, increase biodiversity, and ultimately help tackle climate change.

The need for climate action has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and has brought attention to steps that companies and the wider community can take to mitigate their disruptive impact. Committed to ensuring a healthy planet and a viable food supply for future generations, the Group’s ambition is to educate and strengthen belief in science-based agricultural innovation and technology.

Syngenta Group and St. The Gallen Symposium will jointly develop selected sessions and topics for the coming years. The focus is on how agricultural innovation can be a key contributor to solving the most pressing challenges – for the planet and for future generations in Switzerland and around the world.
