GROWTECH. ANTALYA: The Global Meeting Point of the Agriculture Sector
This year, we embarked on the 24th edition of GROWTECH. ANTALYA with the same enthusiasm as always. Because we now know that GROWTECH. ANTALYA is more than just a trade show; it is a global platform where agriculture professionals from around the world gather and shape the future of the sector. Over four days, we welcomed 38,634 professionals from 135 countries, while 725 exhibiting companies forged new partnerships and achieved outstanding business results. Every meeting, every introduction, every connection reinforced the fact that the heartbeat of the global agricultural ecosystem was beating right here in Antalya.
Modern agriculture is no longer solely about production. In a world where water resources are diminishing, farmland is shrinking, and climate change is reshaping all balances, efficiency has become a necessity rather than a choice. This is why platforms where farmers, producers, technology developers, and investors can meet under one roof have never been more valuable. GROWTECH. ANTALYA has therefore become a central hub where many companies reserve their new product launches, plan their strategies for the coming year, and secure orders. I am proud of being at the center of this transformation.
This year, we added even more depth and vision with the launch of the International Agricultural Diplomacy Conferences. We brought together the most influential figures in global agriculture ranging from the President of the World Farmers’ Organisation to the President of the International Seed Federation, as well as international journalists and sector associations around the same table in Antalya. These sessions, which discussed the future of agricultural diplomacy, were not only relevant to today but also instrumental in shaping international collaboration for tomorrow. The fact that these conferences were held for the first time globally at GROWTECH. ANTALYA further confirmed the international standing of our exhibition.
Among the most dynamic areas of the show was the Sustainability and Innovation Stages. Across 24 sessions with 86 speakers, we explored topics from smart agriculture technologies to digitalization, branding, and global market strategies. As someone who believes that transformation in a deeply rooted sector like agriculture can only happen through knowledge, I see this stage as the true heartbeat of the exhibition.
Recognizing innovation and rewarding breakthroughs is one of the most important steps toward a hopeful future. The ATSO GROWTECH Agricultural Innovation Awards once again highlighted projects that are setting new standards in the sector. On the entrepreneurship side, the Startup Challenge provided a powerful platform for young and bold ideas to meet international investors. Through our collaboration with Innocentrum, fonbulucu, and fonprime, we believe this program represents not only an investment in today’s technologies but in the agricultural technologies of the future.
Looking at GROWTECH. ANTALYA today, I see more than a trade show; I see an ecosystem where knowledge flows, producers are empowered, technologies are showcased, and the world comes together. Completing our 24th year with record participation fills me with pride, but the most exciting part is that we have already begun preparing for the next edition. Our goal remains to expand the boundaries, bring together more professionals from more countries, and continue contributing to the future of agriculture.
I look forward to welcoming everyone back to GROWTECH. ANTALYA, a platform full of innovation, strong collaborations, and shared vision for the future of agriculture.
