EIMA International 2026: The future of agricultural machinery in Bologna

Technological innovation at the service of agriculture

From November 10 to 14, 2026, the Bologna Fiere exhibition center will host the 47th edition of EIMA International, the global exhibition dedicated to machinery for agriculture and gardening. The event confirms its position as one of the primary international benchmarks for agricultural mechanization, attracting the attention of professionals, technicians, and leading companies in the sector from every continent.

A future-oriented theme

Under the banner Design Agricultural Future, the 2026 edition focuses on the convergence between mechanical engineering and environmental sustainability. The goal is to present solutions capable of optimizing production yields while reducing ecological impact through the adoption of precision agriculture systems, advanced automation, and digital integration in cultivation processes. The exhibition path offers a detailed overview of the most recent technical developments, from operating machines to systems for urban and extra-urban green maintenance.

Expansion in the Bologna context

The location, the Bologna exhibition center, represents an infrastructure of excellence that integrates modernity and logistical functionality, situated at a strategic crossroads of the European production landscape. This year, the event marks a significant evolutionary shift in its spatial management: the exhibition area is expanding to include the Maserati Area for the first time, extending the event's traditional boundaries to accommodate a growing number of exhibitors and visitors. This expansion reflects the constant growth of a sector that requires adequate space for the presentation of large-scale technologies and dynamic demonstrations.

Technical and logistical details

The event calendar features an important structural change compared to the past: the opening has been moved to Tuesday, while the closing of the fair activities is set for the evening of Saturday. This schedule is designed to facilitate the influx of international operators and allow for more effective use of the exhibition spaces and the numerous thematic conferences scheduled during the five days of activities. It is recommended to consult the official portal in advance for mandatory registration and for planning B2B meetings, which are fundamental for developing new commercial collaborations on a global scale.
