The EuroTier and EnergyDecentral 2024 trade fairs that took place in Hanover, Germany, 12-15 November, have made a strong impression, providing relevant key drivers for business in the global livestock farming and energy sectors.
Inhouse Farming, the showcase for agricultural and food systems of the future, took place at the same time and perfectly complemented the two leading global trade fairs with new ideas on in-house farming and controlled environment agriculture. Closely linked to agricultural practice, Inhouse Farming offered visionaries and movers and shakers from all over the world specialist information, perspectives, innovations and business - from feed to food.
A total of 2,193 exhibitors from 51 countries presented their latest solutions and technologies. Around 120,000 investment-minded trade visitors from 149 countries took advantage of the international industry gathering, which underlined its leading role in the sector with a focus on animal welfare, sustainability, digitalisation and AI as well as over 500 professional events, and conferences. Both exhibitors and visitors were highly satisfied.

“EuroTier and EnergyDecentral 2024 have impressively demonstrated how the drive for innovation and productivity can go hand in hand. Here in Hanover, we have seen an array of forward-looking solutions for animal husbandry and renewable energies that promote competitiveness, on the one hand, and animal welfare and sustainability, on the other. In times of global challenges, this year’s trade fairs have proven that the industry is making the right adjustments and that our exhibitors have the right answers to the entrepreneurial challenges facing the industry.”
Freya von Czettritz, CEO of DLG Holding GmbH
“The great interest shown by the high-caliber and, particularly, international visitors has made the four days of the trade fair a complete success. The demand from farmers and decision-makers for the wide range of solutions for the future has been enormous. The trade fair offers important impetus when the entire industry comes together on its largest and most important platform. The broad range, the focus on business, the technical program and the many networking opportunities are unique and strengthen its global status as a fixed date in the industry calendar.”

“Visitors were extremely satisfied with the range of exhibits and the technical programme at EuroTier, EnergyDecentral and Inhouse Farming Feed & Food Show and the specialist topics. This was confirmed by 95 percent in the on-site visitor survey. Particular interest was noted in the topics of management and feeding technology, milking and cooling technology, animal housing and hall construction, feed and genetics as well as current offers for decentralized energy production and alternative feed and food production.”
Ines Rathke, Project Manager of EuroTier
“Photovoltaics is on everyone's lips. Here at EnergyDecentral 2024, too, the trade fair for decentralized energy supply is a high-quality industry meeting place for us with many professional contacts and expert discussions.”
Niko Mack, Managing Director, Actensys
“As a leading biogas all-rounder, we are closely networked with the agricultural sector. EnergyDecentral 2024 offers us an important platform both for our networking activities and for our customers, with whom we are actively tackling the energy supply of tomorrow. The response to our showcase here shows that we are on the right track.”
Maurice Markerink, Managing Director, EnviTec Anlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG
“The Inhouse Farming - Feed & Food Show 2024 is very important for us, as it allows us to interact directly with farmers. There was a lot of interest in our system, which allows marine fish aquaculture directly on the farm.”
Carolin Ackermann, CEO, Seawater Cubes
“An increasingly important focus for agriculture, photovoltaics now plays a prominent role in the field of decentralized energy generation in Germany in particular. Both the German government's renewable energy targets and the increasing energy requirements for the electrification of agriculture give rise to enormous investment potential for ground-mounted, storage and agrivoltaics systems. This trend was also reflected at EnergyDecentral 2024 where 50 of the 300 or so exhibitors came from the photovoltaic sector.”
