AGRITECHNICA 2025: The global power booster for agriculture

In Hanover (Germany), AGRITECHNICA 2025 set strong global benchmarks and provided German and international decision-makers from agriculture, the machinery industry and trade with key impulses, innovations and meaningful business contacts.

Under the guiding theme "Touch Smart Efficiency", 2,849 exhibitors from 52 countries showcased cutting-edge technologies for sustainable progress in the global agricultural sector. The new visitor concept, "7 Days - 7 Topics," provided additional orientation for investment decisions and technical information. The new Digital Farm Center delivered practical know-how on digitalization, automation, AI and robotics, demonstrating efficient integration into agricultural processes.

In parallel, Systems & Components was the leading trade fair for the supplier industry in agricultural machinery and the off-highway sector. The visit of Germany’s Federal Minister of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity, Alois Rainer, along with numerous international delegations, highlighted the strong agricultural-political interest in the world’s leading trade fair.

"AGRITECHNICA 2025 has convincingly shown how innovation, productivity, and sustainability can go hand in hand. AGRITECHNICA showcased how advanced technologies in digitalization, automation, robotics, and AI are now integrated into agricultural production processes to boost efficiency. Here in Hanover, we have sent forward-looking impulses for the agriculture and agricultural machinery sectors of tomorrow and across the globe," says Tobias Eichberg, Managing Director of DLG Markets GmbH.
