#BioGaia’s participation at #Medical #Congresses during the spring of 2024: #EPA/ #UNEPSA, #PPPP, and #ESPGHAN During the spring, BioGaia participated in three significant medical meetings and congresses within pediatric health, focusing on our products BioGaia #Protectis Baby Drops and BioGaia #Pharax Kids. EPA/UNEPSA: The 11th European Pediatric Association (EPA/UNEPSA) biennial meeting was held from April 17-21 in Antalya, Turkey. This event marked BioGaia's debut at the meeting, where we were the sole probiotic company represented. We engaged with professionals in the general pediatric health community and presented our key products at our booth. Additionally, BioGaia hosted a scientific symposium titled “Management of Common Infections and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders Using Evidence-Based Probiotics,” featuring eminent speakers Prof. Flavia Indrio and Prof. Metehan Özen. PPPP: The 9th International Congress on Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Postbiotics in Pediatrics (PPPP) took place from April 25-28, also in Antalya, Turkey. This meeting attracts top researchers and clinicians specializing in microbiome research and probiotic use. BioGaia attended alongside our Turkish partner, Eczacıbaşı. BioGaia’s Chief Scientific Officer, Gianfranco Grompone, presented on a futuristic topic: “A Translational Journey Within the Holobiont: Recent Data from L. reuteri to Next-Generation Probiotics.” This was followed by Prof. Ener Cagri Dinleyici, who presented clinical data on “Probiotics to Fight Antibiotic-Induced Dysbiosis and Infections: The Case of L. reuteri DSM 17938.” ESPGHAN: The European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN), the largest pediatric congress within pediatric gastroenterology, was held in Milan, Italy, from May 17-21. This year’s meeting attracted 5,600 participants (5,300 in person and 300 online) from around the world. Our booth saw high interest in probiotics and our products, with approximately 1,000 visitors over the three days. We were joined by our Italian partner, Recordati. 📣 Upcoming Events In the fall, BioGaia will attend: United European Gastroenterology Week (#UEG Week), October 12-15 in Vienna, Austria, where our focus will be on our Gastrus products.

Last week, our Sustainability Manager, Jonathan Gromark, spoke about BioGaia´s work with sustainable products and packaging at Woola´s event together with Henrik Jonsson (agood company) and Anna-Liisa Palatu. 🌱 #BioGaia has integrated #sustainability throughout operations, in everything from product development to purchasing strategies and corporate governance. We strive to use #sustainable ingredients and materials in our products and packaging, at the same time as we never compromise on quality. As part of our efforts to offer consumers more sustainable products, we have set a target to be completely free from palm oil by 2025 and to only use paper from sustainably managed forests.
