The Seed Congress of the Americas is back — and it’s bigger, bolder, and more connected than ever.
From Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, the seed industry’s leaders will gather at Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, for a two-and-a-half-days immersion in strategy, science, and seed commerce.
If you are a seed company, regulator, or industry advocate in North, Central or South America, this is the moment to align priorities, build partnerships, and secure trading relationships that move both the region’s seed business — and your own organization — forward.
Trading, Innovation, and Impact
The Seed Congress of the Americas brings together the people, insights, and deal flow that move the seed industry forward.
The Trading Floor and Exhibition Floor form the commercial engine of the event — combining structured networking, business development, and licensing conversations with a showcase of solutions to today’s challenges, from seed treatments and equipment to logistics and market intelligence.
Adding to this dynamic hub is the Innovation Floor, where poster presentations spotlight breakthrough research, product development, and emerging technologies from across the hemisphere. Here, participants can explore what’s next in plant breeding, digital agriculture, and seed technology — and connect directly with the scientists and entrepreneurs driving that innovation.
Meanwhile, plenary sessions and spotlights provide actionable intelligence on innovation, regulation, and market access — insights designed not just to inspire, but to guide real decisions in the next business cycle.
“Deals appear when time, trust, and focus intersect — that is exactly what the Congress creates,” says Diego Risso, Executive Director of the Seed Association of the Americas (SAA).
