Two thirds of the exhibition’s 2,600 exhibitors hail from 55 different countries, a new record – 300 international exhibitors are located in 23 country and regional pavilions – six premiering pavilions – high interest in the national pavilions underlines Agritechnica as the venue for global business.

With 23 countries and regions, the number of national pavilions at Agritechnica continues at an all-time high, indicating that the display of products and services under a national banner has many merits. New this year are pavilions from the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Sweden, Ukraine, Nebraska State and Taiwan. For the first time, Greek companies are supported by export incentives.

Participation in the Agritechnica pavilions scheme allows companies to join the world’s largest trade fair, a particular incentive for smaller companies. The majority of pavilions are organized and financially supported by economic development agencies.

The number of pavilions at each trade fair edition has been growing concurrently with Agritechnica’s international scope over the last decade, and there are some high-profile newcomers for 2023.

Agritechnica: six new pavilions

With its focus on tillage, grain storage and harvest logistics solutions, the Ukraine pavilion in Hall 5 will attract attention from international visitors exploring large-scale farm options.

Pavilions attract new exhibitors and new technologies

Pavilions introduce many first-time exhibitors to Agritechnica and for visitors they are a way to spot technical solutions from around the world.

This year we are especially pleased to see a high number of technology startup companies in the pavilions, which, with their innovative approaches on display, is a good way to attract investors and new clients at Agritechnica,” says Ulrike Schmidt-Machinek, Head of International Sales at the DLG (German Agricultural Society), organizer of Agritechnica.

A pavilion adds cultural color

Every hall at the exhibition has its own unique product focus and atmosphere, which is positively influenced by the products presented. The presence of national pavilions in a hall really adds a cultural element too with the prominent signposting that can be seen from most angles in that particular hall. Besides, most the pavilions will host special networking events with traditional food and beverages. Often the country pavilions are visited by high-ranking country representatives, such as ambassadors or ministers, with corresponding media coverage,” adds Schmidt-Machinek.

At Agritechnica, 65 percent of the more than 2,700 exhibitors are from outside Germany, which represents a new record and, of these, 300, or 17 percent, have chosen to be housed in a pavilion.

The country and regional pavilions are spread across the exhibitions grounds according to their selected product focus. Countries that have appeared regularly over the past 15 years are: Argentina, Brazil, USA, Canada, China, Finland, Spain. The exhibitors from Greece will be supported by Business Greek, the official Economic development organization of Greece.
