SPACE 2025: New records on the agenda

The 39th edition of SPACE will take place next week, from Tuesday 16 to Thursday 18 September at the Parc-Expo in Rennes and will provide an exceptional opportunity to come and meet industry players at what we have taken to calling the "Animal Farming Community".

With over 1,200 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors from 120 countries, in addition to roughly 100 conferences, a platform for displaying the latest innovations, attractions for young visitors, including the Espace for the Future to provide tools for forward thinking on artificial intelligence, job-dating, Top Buyers from all over the world… SPACE is building on the success of 2024 and offering a golden opportunity for all in the agricultural sector. The attendance numbers at this year's event are setting new records in the years since COVID. Such a high number of exhibitors has not been seen since 2020, with demand for exhibition space exceeding supply and new records for conferences, debates, and organised events.

The location of SPACE in Western France—the heartland of animal farming—gives this event a unique advantage. The regions of Brittany, Normandy, and Pays de la Loire currently produce 75% of France’s pig herd, 60% of broiler poultry, 44% of beef, and 53% of dairy output. Such a leadership position, achieved through the strength of the ecosystem, the favourable climate in Western France, and the expertise of local farmers, makes this region a vital nexus for the future of animal farming in all its diversity. Artificial intelligence, which we have renamed "Agricultural Intelligence" will be central to discussions and the Espace for the Future. Through presentations and discussions with experts, farmers attending SPACE will find answers and clarifications on how they can use artificial intelligence in their profession.
