Strong involvement

During VICTAM International 2026 last June, we have proudly hosted another collaborative conference with international companies and universities. This edition, we organized the chance to connect with global experts at the IFTC Satellite Symposium. On behalf of the scientific, advisory and organization committee of the Congress, we invited students, professors, researchers and professionals from industry to participate to the IFTC 2026 program. The theme was 'Animal Feed Technology: Science meets Industry' which was visited very well, making it a great success.
