The new year will bring with it a first important event, in which Forigo team has been participating for years: we are talking about SIVAL 2020, French trade show dedicated to everything related to plant production, equipment and services for arboriculture, seeds, viticulture, horticulture and more. The event will take place at the Exhibition Center of Angers, in France, from January 14th to 16th and it will be an excellent opportunity to get to know the latest news in the industry and to understand what future we have to expect. Discover in this article a preview of the event!

For over thirty years, SIVAL has been one of the key events for the agricultural sector, a meeting point for all those organizations that work daily in the field of plant production. It is a growing success that, year after year, makes this event more and more fundamental. With SIVAL nothing is left to chance: the event takes place in Angers – a land of ​​excellence in terms of plant production – during the best time of the year for production professionals to travel.

The central theme of SIVAL is innovation, common thread of the event and its various initiatives. SIVAL 2020, once again, will represent a showcase for the latest news, as a place of mutual exchange for all the participating professionals. The programme of the event includes conferences and debates focused on the changes that are shaping the future of agriculture. 135 speakers will be joining the exhibition to give their contribution and answer various questions on the evolution of the sector.

The numbers speak for themselves, confirming the great value of the event. In fact, in 2019 there were 660 exhibitors, ready to welcome around 24,000 visitors coming not only from France but also from numerous other countries. These numbers show an increase of 20% for exhibitors and 17% for visitors in just four years. Over time, SIVAL has proven its worth: the satisfaction of 96% of exhibitors and the decision of the vast majority to participate again year after year confirms the quality of this exhibition.

The added value of SIVAL 2020 is represented by two high-profile contests aimed at finding excellences in innovation within the sector, giving them the due recognition. First, we have the SIVAL Innovation Competition, which in 2019 registered about 70 submissions and focuses on technical and service innovations dedicated to plant production. The second one is the Agreen Startup Contest, developed on the initiative of the Chamber of Agriculture in Pays de la Loire.

Participating in SIVAL 2020 means establishing contacts at international level and being able to share ideas with foreign buyers, coming from Europe, Africa, Middle East and more. For exhibitors, SIVAL also means choosing the excellent reputation of the SIVAL brand to make businesses grow and to interact with different realities. Another key aspect is understanding the market and how the demand evolves, to being able to keep up to date with change.
