Agricultural technology innovation events

Overview

Various agricultural technology events are scheduled for late September 2026.

In the Netherlands, the ‘Seed meets Technology 2026’ event is set for 22 to 24 September at Vertify in Zwaagdijk-Oost. This gathering focuses on seed industry professionals, researchers, and growers, featuring symposia on artificial intelligence in the seed sector, leafy greens, and seed health technologies. The event includes demonstration fields for observing new crop varieties.

In Greece, the Agricultural University of Athens hosted the ‘Agri Innovation Expo 2026’ on 24 and 25 September at the Agricultural Museum grounds. The exhibition served as a platform to connect academic research with entrepreneurship, industry, and the public. A total of 32 exhibitors participated, showcasing developments in precision agriculture, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and food technology.

Following these events, further agricultural conferences in Greece have focused on sustainability and genetic innovation. In Heraklion, Crete, the ‘Science of Olive Oil’ conference addressed quality and sustainability in the olive oil value chain. Participants, including sponsor EUROCERT, emphasized the transition from general sustainability claims to data-driven approaches, such as measuring carbon footprints and utilizing international standards like ISO 14064-1 and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to verify environmental performance.

Additionally, the 20th Panhellenic Congress of the Greek Scientific Society of Plant Genetic Improvement is scheduled for 7–9 October 2026 in Serres. Titled ‘The Role of Plant Genetic Improvement in Innovation, Resilience, and Sustainable Development of Agriculture,’ the congress will explore genomic technologies, molecular breeding, and climate change resilience to support food security.
