Introduction

Dear readers,

After 30 years at KWS in applied breeding technologies, how does Milena Ouzunova look back on her time with our company? She talks with her successor Silke Wieckhorst about groundbreaking results in research and how the two of them have prepared a good transition.

KWS in pea milk? That could become a reality in 2025: Our KWS Food Ingredients team is already coordinating an initial project to market tasty plant-based foods with the aid of our genetics.

Lively, instructive, vocal: The second edition of our KWS Science Slam was another great success. With five varied and exciting presentations on different topics, our slammers took everyone in the audience on a journey through the world of KWS.

One team, one goal – with #EXPECTMORE, we have not only positioned our grain corn better in the market, but also created a new form of collaboration. You can read about how that works in this issue.

We wish you an enjoyable read!
