EIMA 2026: A Global Meeting Point for Agricultural Machinery
The 47th edition of EIMA International, one of the world’s leading exhibitions for agricultural machinery and technologies, will take place at the Bologna Exhibition Centre from 10–14 November 2026, bringing together manufacturers, professionals and business operators from around the world.
This year’s event will feature approximately 1,800 exhibiting companies, including 650 international exhibitors from 45 countries. EIMA’s global reach continues to grow, following the 2024 edition, which attracted more than 350,000 attendances, including over 63,000 from 150 countries.
A major focus of EIMA 2026 will be international business development. ICE and FederUnacoma have selected 830 trade professionals from 120 countries to participate in a dedicated programme expected to generate around 14,000 B2B meetings with agricultural machinery manufacturers.
According to Simona Rapastella, Director General of FederUnacoma, the exhibition is increasingly responding to changing marketing needs by enabling more targeted, “tailor-made” connections between technology suppliers and international buyers.
Beyond machinery and technology, EIMA 2026 will address some of the major challenges shaping global agriculture. The conference programme will cover topics including drought and mechanisation in Africa, agricultural trade between Europe and India, opportunities arising from the Europe–Mercosur agreement, conservation agriculture, water management and the future of the EU Common Agricultural Policy.
The programme will also examine the opportunities and challenges associated with machinery use by women farmers.
With its combination of technology, international business meetings and discussion of global agricultural challenges, EIMA 2026 will once again position Bologna as an important meeting point for the international agricultural machinery industry.
