Leaders in AI and robotics for agriculture, all in one place

On Wednesday 18 June 2025, over 150 international frontrunners will gather at Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo for a full day of innovation, connection and inspiration. During this Demo Day, you’ll discover how artificial intelligence and robotics are radically transforming the Agrifood sector. From promising startups to leading investors and researchers, this is Europe’s key stage for smart agricultural technology.

The day begins at 10:30 with a plenary opening and keynote, followed by the first panel discussion and startup pitches from companies working at the intersection of AI, robotics and agriculture. Around noon, there will be time for lunch and an optional tour of Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo, where innovation and collaboration are tangible throughout. In the afternoon, the programme continues with a second panel and new startup pitches. Participants can then join a tour of the marketplace or take part in an additional site visit. The day concludes with the announcement of the pitch award, followed by a networking reception where participants can reflect, share and connect in an informal setting.

Are you active in agriculture, high-tech or investing in sustainable food solutions? Then this day is for you. Whether you work in technology, shape policy, build startups or apply future-oriented farming methods, the AI & Robotics in Agriculture Demo Day offers valuable insights, meaningful encounters and new opportunities.

• Discover the latest AI and robotics technology for the Agrifood sector

• Meet startups and investors with a clear vision of the future

• Gain access to a powerful European network of frontrunners

• Learn about both practical applications and strategic trends

The themes of this day closely align with the ongoing developments within the NXTGEN Hightech Agrifood ecosystem. Applying AI and robotics in agriculture fits directly with our shared ambition to make the sector smarter, more sustainable and more agile. Where technology is used to improve efficiency, there is room for progress. Where sectors and disciplines join forces, innovation gains momentum. And where scalable solutions reach practice faster, the future of food production takes shape.

Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo provides fertile ground for this movement, and this Demo Day demonstrates just how far we’ve already come together.

Participation is free of charge. Please register in advance.
