AGRITECHNICA Hanover

The AGRITECHNICA in Hanover is an event of international scope, renowned as the world's leading trade fair for agricultural technology. Organized by DLG e.V. (German Agricultural Society), this fair is synonymous with an unparalleled showcase of innovations in agriculture. DLG e.V. assumes a key role in the organization of this extensive exhibition, committed to promoting scientific advancements in agriculture and the enhancement of production methods. By hosting AGRITECHNICA, the DLG reaffirms its leading role as a catalyst for innovation, quality, and expertise in the agricultural sector.

The trade fair takes place every two years in odd-numbered years in November at the Hannover Fairgrounds, the largest in the world, known for its extensive exhibition areas and commitment to promoting the industry. The fair, which has its roots in the DLG exhibition first held in 1887 and has been independent since 1985, was originally located in Frankfurt am Main but moved to Hannover in 1995 due to growing international interest and increased demands on space and infrastructure.

It serves as a platform for exhibitors from various sectors to exchange innovations, knowledge, and best practices. This includes, among others, agricultural machinery and equipment such as tractors, harvesters, irrigation technologies, agricultural machines, and equipment for animal husbandry, all of which are central elements of modern agriculture. The plant protection and fertilizers sector encompasses solutions to safeguard plants and crops from pests and diseases and to optimize soil fertility. In the seeds and plant breeding sector, the latest advancements in genetics and plant breeding are presented, contributing to increased crop yields and enhanced resilience against diseases and climatic changes. Precision farming and digital agriculture focus on technological innovations utilizing data analysis, automation, AI, and other digital tools to boost efficiency and productivity. In the field of renewable energies, solutions for biomass, biogas, solar energy, and other renewable sources are introduced, finding application in agricultural operations. Forestry exhibits technologies and specialized machinery for sustainable management, maintenance, and protection of forests. Additionally, services related to financing, subsidies, business management consulting, risk management, and educational opportunities in the agricultural sector are offered in the management and consulting area.

A distinctive feature of AGRITECHNICA is its wide-ranging offering. It not only showcases the latest advancements in the agricultural machinery and technology industry but also places a special emphasis on sustainable and resource-conserving cultivation technologies. This includes innovative products and solutions focused on water and energy-saving cultivation methods, and concepts that are essential for a sustainable future in agriculture.

Despite economic uncertainties and periods of recession, AGRITECHNICA maintains an optimistic outlook. This is particularly due to the rising demand for food and biomass, which promises positive momentum for agriculture, especially in Eastern European markets.

In summary, AGRITECHNICA is more than a fair: it is a dynamic, global forum dedicated to advancing the agricultural industry through innovation, education, and international cooperation. It remains an indispensable meeting point for experts, companies, and stakeholders from around the world to share ideas, forge partnerships, and collectively shape the future of agriculture.
