At EuroTier, organizer DLG (German Agricultural Society), as part of its aim to support technological progress in agriculture, has once again set up an agrifood start-up exhibition area & start-up showcase event that houses more than 30 innovative agriculture and food startups from 15 countries from three continents. Among the startups, two innovations have won EuroTier Innovation Awards while a further four are world premieres and two have been nominated for the DLG Impulse Pitches award. The number of startups increased by 37 percent compared with the last EuroTier edition in 2022.
The 34 EuroTier startups cover a broad product spectrum, from the animal production product supply chain such as animal nutrition and animal health products to equipment for animal housing and storage as well as other hardware and software offerings. Visitors can find software incorporating AI and sensor technology, which supports animal health monitoring and production as well as technology and services in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and decentralized energy systems.
Christopher Armstrong, project manager for EuroTier's agrifood startups said: "The startups exhibiting at this year's EuroTier are a very interesting mix from early stage to late stage startups, start-ups that are in the prototyping phase for new products and technologies or have just launched in the market, research institute spin-offs to well-established market-ready innovations."
