The Victam Foundation dates back to 1964 and was originally founded to organize a trade show for suppliers to the animal feed and related industries. This became the famous international Victam exhibition, which up until 2007 was held every three years in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
In due course the foundation widened its scope of activities to promoting the international feed, grain and biomass industry in general. These activities can adopt various forms, such as the organization of exhibitions, conferences, student exchanges, publishing, support of research projects and institutes, and contacts with and support of relevant associations.
The Board of the Victam Foundation consists of five members from the feed industry and supplying industries.
The Victam Foundation owns 100 of the shares of Victam International BV, the organizers of the Victam events.
