To close out Fiscal Year 24-25, Team Genective gathered at our Weldon, IL facility for a highly productive and energizing Connection Day! We checked in on our progress toward corporate goals, took a deep dive into our R&D pipeline, and sharpened our safety skills with hands-on fire extinguisher training and putting out a real fire! Our team really made the most of Connection Day celebrating another successful year of Genective 2.0 since moving our headquarters from Paris, France to Central IL in 2019. It’s always inspiring to come together, align on our mission, and keep pushing innovation forward! #agtech #biotech #safetytraining #connectionday #teamgenective
