Germains Seed Technology

Reflecting on this year’s International Seed Federation congress, we were delighted to host the first Charity River Cruise at this year’s event. 🚢 Cruising along the Nouvelle Meuse River in beautiful weather, our guests enjoyed live music, food and a chance to socialise with our guests, including many leaders from across the seed industry. All whilst enjoying the beautiful sights of Rotterdam and helping to raise an impressive 5000€ for good causes, including the Seed Resilience Foundation & Voedsel Bank (a dutch food bank). Take a look back at this enjoyable event 📷 #WorldSeed2024 #WSC2024 #LifeAtGermains
