Europatat congress 2025
Potatoes leaders of the future: deciding under uncertainty
The annual Europatat event has become a key platform to assess the state of play of the potato sector and to communicate the priorities and challenges facing the potato business in Europe and beyond. In 2025, the European potato community will meet again in Lille (France) from Wednesday 11 to Friday 13 June.
The organisers, Europatat and Fedepom, are honoured to announce the presence of Mr Patrick Baudry, renowned former French astronaut and keynote speaker, who will draw parallels between his experience in space and the role of the manager faced with the unknown.
His keynote speech will be followed by a panel discussion on the potato market in France and Europe. More information about the speaker will be announced soon, stay tuned!
