EIMA Digital 2027 – Bologna, Italy

期待できること

EIMA Digital is the specialized showcase within EIMA International dedicated entirely to electronic technologies, precision agriculture, and digital transformation of farming. Born in 2018 as a thematic area and established as a specialized show in 2020, EIMA Digital has become the hub of innovation offering a comprehensive overview of the most advanced solutions for increasingly efficient, sustainable, and connected agriculture. It is organized by FederUnacoma, the Italian Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Federation, which also organizes EIMA International.

You can expect a high-technology exhibition environment focused on digital systems, artificial intelligence, and robotics applied to agriculture. Unlike the traditional machinery halls that display tractors and implements, EIMA Digital concentrates on software, sensors, connectivity, and data-driven decision systems. The audience includes farmers, contractors, agronomists, agri-tech startups, research centers, dealers, and manufacturers who are investing in Agriculture 4.0 solutions.

The showcase presents a broad landscape of IT and electronic applications that increasingly characterize modern agriculture, from fleet management and telemetry to variable rate application, remote sensing, and farm management information systems. Exhibitors demonstrate how digital technologies enable traceability, reduce inputs, improve yields, and support compliance with environmental regulations. The atmosphere is professional and international, with exhibitors and visitors from over 150 countries, and a strong presence of universities and research institutions.

Whether you are looking to implement precision farming on your farm, develop new digital services, or find technology partners for distribution, EIMA Digital offers direct access to the latest generation of advanced electronics and a clear view of where agricultural technology is heading.
