Donau Soja General Assembly & Networking Event 2023
Connecting & collaborating – recap of the General Assembly & Networking Event
On September 12th the annual Donau Soja General Assembly took place in Vienna.
After the morning session for members only, we invited a wider audience to a networking afternoon and dinner with many interesting talks and discussions. We kicked-off the afternoon with an innovative discussion format – a fishbowl discussion. After 15 concise input statements from Donau Soja colleagues, focusing on topics from ‘Servus Super Soya’ through ‘Stop Deforestation’ to ‘Solution’, the fishbowl discussion started, in which each guest had the opportunity to participate.
With plenty of opportunity for networking and socialising in between, we rounded off the evening with two Donau Soja expert talks. Christoph Müller and Bertalan Kruppa gave interesting insights on current policy topics, the EU deforestation regulation, an update on the soya market and a 2023 harvest outlook.
