The upcoming edition of the Expoliva International Scientific, Technical and Knowledge Transfer Symposium , which is being held for the twenty-second time within the framework of EXPOLIVA 2025, is consolidating its position as the main meeting point for researchers, technicians, and professionals in the world of olive groves and olive oil. Organized by the Olive Grove Foundation, the event will address the challenges and opportunities of the sector with a firm commitment to sustainability, health, and innovation. With more than three decades of history, this forum has become a benchmark for knowledge exchange and the promotion of advanced technologies in the olive oil sector. The 2025 edition will also be notable for the participation of several operational groups that will showcase their results during the symposium. These include the GO Simbioliva (Simbioliva Group) in a dedicated program space, along with innovative projects for the olive and olive oil sectors. The symposium thus reaffirms its role as a platform of excellence for connecting science, technology, and sustainable development around olive oil, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet and an economic engine for many regions.
