The 25th edition of the International Agricultural Exhibition AGRO SHOW took place in Bednary near Poznań between 20 and 22 September 2024. One of the events during the exhibition was the presentation of the AgriFoodTEF project, which was created by the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center, among others.
AGRO SHOW is the one of the largest and most important European events in the field of agricultural technology. It is perceived as a perfect occasion to present the newest and most modern agricultural machines and devices. Exhibitors from all over the Old Continent offer their fertilizers, seeds, plant protection products and other goods related to agriculture; you can find there even financial institutions.
During this year’s event nearly 700 exhibitors had 120 ha of area at their disposal. Stand 37 was devoted to AgriFoodTEF project presented by the PSNC specialists. It was quite popular among companies whose business include agricultural machines, agri-food processing solutions, software and agricultural robots, as well as start-ups and SMEs investing in R&D and developing AI technology.
Within the agrifoodtef, ICOS, ScalAgData, Datamite, Ai4EOSC and OpenAgri projects, we presented opportunities for supporting agriculture.
