In April 2006, Genesis held it’s 8th annual open house in the Negev research station in Ashalim.

210 people from seed companies, universities, growers and related industries in Israel and guests from North America and Turkey attended the event.

The guests enjoyed a tour in the research station, which includes 10 hectares of fields, net houses and greenhouses, also exploring the cooling facilities and the seed processing equipment.

Later the guests listened to speakers, including the Israeli Minister of Agriculture, The Mayor of Ramat Negev, the Rector of the Hebrew University and Researchers from across the country who made an appearance and addressed the crowd. Finally, a delightful meal was served to the guests, concluding another successful Genesis open house event.
