End-of-Year Message 2024 from our CEO, Gonçalo Amorim

2024 has been a year of continuous challenges and unpredictability. The fragility of our global stability has been laid bare by ongoing wars, geopolitical tensions, humanitarian struggles, and, most acutely, the escalating climate crisis. These challenges remind us all of the urgency to act and the importance of working together towards a sustainable future.

At BGI, we remain committed to being part of the solution and bearing the current context even accelerating the execution of our sustainability strategy. Whether through pioneering the digitization of RegenAg systems at SF-TestBeds and SFT-EDIH, enabling circular aquaponic innovations at Ampliaqua, or advancing soil and soils microbiomes for a "healthier planet", we have shown that science, technology, collaboration, and purpose-driven innovation can create real impact.

We are also proud to contribute to European programs that foster unity and cooperation, driving positive change through sustainable food systems and cutting-edge technologies through LILAS4SOILS, for instance.

As we step into 2025, let us carry forward this awareness and determination:

To "value what we have"

To "work together" to overcome challenges

To "safeguard the future" we envision for generations to come

Together, we can regenerate not only the way we live, produce and consume but also the hope and trust in a better, more resilient world.

With gratitude and optimism,

Gonçalo Amorim
