EIMA announces groundbreaking 2024 event

The Bologna event aims to support operators in their business activities and to offer a global panorama of supply and demand for new technologies

EIMA is a formidable agricultural technologies exhibition, where all the new products and prototypes and the most technologically advanced solutions to meet the production needs of every agricultural model are promoted. These are the credentials of the international exhibition organised by FederUnacoma during the conference held at the headquarters of the Italian Trade Agency (ICE) in Rome.

The 2024 event – which will be held at the Bologna Exhibition Centre from 6-10 November – will feature participation by 1,700 industries, who will exhibit latest-generation machinery and cutting-edge technological solutions. In addition to being a boundless showcase of innovations, EIMA is a system designed to support the business of companies, and match supply and demand on a global level. Economic operators, agricultural entrepreneurs and agro-mechanical technicians are able to find computer support in five languages, interpretation services and contractual assistance at EIMA.

The themes that will be addressed over the five days of the event in topic-specific meetings are also international in scope, including those relating to the global crisis of water resources, the cultivation of marginal territories and extreme areas of the planet, and the creation of the free trade area on the African continent, for which an important Forum has been dedicated. 

Overall, EIMA 2024 will host no fewer than 150 conventions, conferences and workshops, to offer updates on technologies and policies for agriculture and agro-mechanics, divided by product sector and organised partly within the five thematic EIMA Salons: 'Components', 'Energy', 'Green', 'Hydrotech' and 'Digital'. 

“Among the thematic areas, EIMA Campus will have particular importance this year dedicated to universities, research and training, which includes a programme of initiatives coordinated by the Italian Association of Agricultural Engineering (AIIA) with the presence of 11 universities,” said the director of FederUnacoma, Simona Rapastella. “Within this context, a space dedicated to the AFI Academy is planned the advanced training school established by FederUnacoma, which will begin its activity in January 2025 and also offer courses in trade fair management.”
