Exploring Europe's markets together
AöL e.V. and OPTA Europe invite you to the Organic Market Conference 2025 in Brussels. The conference will focus on the following questions: How are organic markets developing in the individual European countries? Which companies are shaping them? What are the consumers like and how are producer structures organised? Together with guests from politics and business, we will shed light on these topics and provide insights into key markets such as Poland, France, Spain and the Netherlands. We create a low-threshold network of European organic players, discover new sales channels, initiate collaborations and develop a deeper understanding of the European organic market. The networking evening on 24 September in the heart of the EU quarter provides the perfect setting for this.
