Sommet de l’Élevage 2021: the leading trade fair for livestock

Forigo’s autumn is enriched with a new appointment: in Clermont-Ferrand, France, the Sommet de l’Elevage event will take place from 5 to 8 October. This is the number one fair in Europe for the livestock sector. This year’s edition will have an even more varied program, to offer to all participants a complete overview of the current situation in the sector and on all the innovations that await us in the future. The Forigo team is ready to participate at the event: let’s find out all the details of this trade show together!

The Sommet de l’Élevage, now an event of consolidated fame, represents the first European appointment for breeding professionals. Its name, which means precisely “top of the breeding“, clearly indicates its relevance within the sector. The event is a real stage for French know-how in the field of animal production, but also a meeting point for all the players in the agricultural and agro-supply sector. This event has now become the world leader in the beef cattle sector, but it is also one of the major fairs dedicated to the dairy sector.

The Sommet, over the years, has managed to increase its commercial offer more and more, managing today to be able to offer a complete overview of all the livestock and agricultural sectors. The topics covered during the event range from agricultural machinery to milking systems, passing through genetics, health and animal nutrition; even energy and innovation are not forgotten.

Thanks to the presence of exhibitors and visitors from all over the world, the Sommet de l’Élevage is now a space that encourages international business: just think that, in 2019, over 90 countries were represented by visitors and exhibitors.

Given its great importance, it is not surprising that the French fair also has the media spotlight on it: in the previous edition, 160 journalists were hosted, with a massive presence in the print, radio-television and web press.

If these data still do not fully convey the importance of the Sommet de l’Élevage, these numbers – recorded in the 2019 edition – certainly can do so: 82,500 square meters of surface area dedicated to stands, with 180,000 m² of exhibition space in total, for a total of 1560 exhibitors from almost 40 countries and 96 thousand visitors. Furthermore, among the most represented sectors, we find those of agricultural machinery, services, equipment and supplies for livestock farming, the renewable energy sector and new technologies.

It is also thanks to its great variety that the Sommet is able to give great satisfaction to those who participate: many people return year after year, both among exhibitors and visitors.

Forigo could only be in the front row to participate in an event of this magnitude: the context of the Sommet de l’Élevage fits perfectly with the Forigo philosophy, based on innovation but also on proximity to farmers and breeders who need efficient and functional solutions in response to your needs. The Speedy regenerators, for example, represent one of the solutions that Forigo offers to poultry farms, to allow the regeneration of the litter for the full well-being of the animals.

From Tuesday 5 to Friday 8 October 2021, the Forigo team awaits you at the Grande Halle D’Auvergne exhibition center, in Clermont-Ferrand in France, from 8.30 to 19: we can’t wait to meet you and show you our innovative solutions!
