EONANOBIOPS highlighted its innovative approach to developing essential oil-based nano-biopesticides at UNIVEXPO 2026 in Sfax, engaging institutional, academic, and innovation stakeholders in sustainable solutions for tomato crop protection.
The EONANOBIOPS project, co-funded by the European Union under the Interreg NEXT MED Programme 2021–2027, was showcased at the 28th edition of UNIVEXPO, organised by the University of Sfax and held at the Exhibition Palace in Sfax, Tunisia, on 15–16 July 2026.
During the event, Prof. Slim Tounsi from the Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax (CBS), an EONANOBIOPS project partner, presented the project’s objectives and expected impact to the Governor of the City of Sfax. He highlighted the project’s innovative approach to developing sustainable and environmentally friendly nano-biopesticides based on plant-derived essential oils for the management of major tomato crop pests and diseases.
Bringing together universities, research institutions, public authorities, and innovation stakeholders, UNIVEXPO provided a valuable platform to share the project’s research activities, strengthen dialogue with regional decision-makers, and raise awareness of innovative solutions for sustainable crop protection.
CBS’s participation enhanced the visibility of EONANOBIOPS and fostered stronger links between researchers, public institutions, and local stakeholders. Through such engagement, the project contributes to advancing sustainable agricultural practices and improving the resilience of tomato production systems across the Mediterranean region.
