A practical day to understand the market and build relevant connections
You are working on smart farming in open field cultivation and want to assess whether Belgium and Wallonia in particular, is relevant for your next step. On Friday 24 July 2026, a free collective visit will take place to the Libramont Agricultural Fair. You will see which solutions are being presented, speak with regional players and gain a clearer view of who is worth following up with. This helps you avoid making assumptions from a distance for months.
Programme Smart Farming in Open Field Cultivation
The programme is practical and accessible, with plenty of time to explore and engage in conversations on the exhibition floor. We start with a short introduction to the Walloon sector, followed by a joint visit to a selection of stands focused on data, sensors, precision applications and mechanisation for arable farming and fruit growing. Throughout the day, there is room to connect with relevant parties, and you are free to explore the fair independently to meet organisations that match your interests.
Why you should not miss Smart Farming in Open Field Cultivation
If you want to seriously assess whether Wallonia is relevant, it helps to see who is active, what is being presented and which questions matter to farmers and value chain partners. In one day, you build a list of relevant contacts, gain a clearer understanding of solutions already in use in the region and are better equipped to decide on your next step. You move forward based on what you have seen and discussed, rather than assumptions.
Who should attend Smart Farming in Open Field Cultivation
This day is relevant for Dutch tech companies with agri-tech or data solutions, for agricultural producers looking to work more efficiently and sustainably, and for knowledge and research institutions seeking partners in Belgium. It is also valuable for policymakers and advisors who want to understand which innovations are being applied in practice in Wallonia. If you work on smart farming in open field cultivation such as arable farming or fruit growing, or if your solutions relate to outdoor cultivation and field data, this is a logical moment to join.
