Agricultural Intelligence at the heart of Planet Livestock
SPACE 2025 will take place from Tuesday, September 16 to Thursday, September 18 at the Parc-Expo in Rennes. Following on from the huge success of SPACE 2024, this 39th edition promises to be equally exceptional. More than 1,200 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors from 120 countries will once again gather in the heart of the Grand Ouest region, the meeting place for Planet Livestock during the agricultural season.

The current geopolitical context is marked by significant impacts on agricultural and food balances. In this highly fluid environment, farmers remain tasked with addressing food, as well as environmental, social, and energy challenges. This complex equation requires ever-increasing professionalism, the use of appropriate tools, and an open outlook on the world.

SPACE is here as a cutting-edge trade show for all livestock sectors to offer its participants solutions tailored to farmers worldwide.
For its 39th edition, SPACE will focus on artificial intelligence at the service of farmers , to aim for improving precision, performance, working comfort and animal health management.

SPACE is also the event that exhibitors look forward to presenting their innovations and applying for Innov'Space . This label of innovation and progress, essential for businesses, will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. This 2025 edition will therefore be the moment to highlight innovation, research and the role of SPACE as a driver and accelerator of progress in agriculture.
Top-level participation from exhibitors

The level of registrations is very high, and is even higher than that of 2024 at the same date. SPACE will offer an extremely comprehensive panel for all professionals in the mixed crop and livestock sector. Nearly 1,100 companies are registered, including 311 international ones. 195 are new exhibitors. SPACE is therefore the only show that offers an exceptional range for all sectors: dairy and beef cattle, pork, poultry, goat, sheep, and aquaculture, complemented by 250 exhibitors in livestock machinery.

International presence is part of SPACE's DNA, and its global recognition is the best testament to this. By integrating this "European Crossroads" dimension into the meaning of the acronym SPACE, the Show has always championed and developed this positioning. This has been a real in-depth effort since its inception to enable exhibitors to consolidate and develop their export markets. A particularly active worldwide promotional campaign has been conducted since SPACE 2024 to attract a high-level international audience to Rennes in September.
L'international au SPACE
It must be emphasized that SPACE's international positioning is absolutely unique : every year it brings together visitors from 120 countries from all livestock sectors, as well as more than 300 international exhibitors from 35 different countries.
New this year: to further strengthen SPACE's technical and scientific contribution to African countries (32 African countries were represented at SPACE last year), training dedicated to poultry farming in hot countries is being relaunched with the support of INNÔZH.

Artificial intelligence at the service of breeders with Space for Tomorrow

Decision-making and predictive artificial intelligence are currently the most widespread and valued technologies worldwide, accounting for 90% of projects. By analyzing numerical and visual data, it provides key elements for anticipating decisions and optimizing processes. It is particularly useful in risk management, particularly in climate, health, and other areas.
