SPACE 2026 closes its doors on a 40th edition that lived up to its ambitions
SPACE, the global Show for all animal farming, closed its doors this thursday at Rennes Parc-expo, after three days marked by the loyalty of exhibitors and visitors.
The return of the animals (700) featured a comprehensive program. Meetings, debates, proposals for concrete, tailored solutions, and a friendly atmosphere summed up the three-day program.
This year, SPACE chose to address the issue of water in the “Espace for the Future”.
This theme proved particularly appealing to visitors and industry professionals.
This 40th edition was inaugurated by Annie Genevard, Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food, and Food Sovereignty, who came to express the government’s support for agricultural professionals and to reiterate how indispensable SPACE remains for this sector, both in France and internationally.
“As this latest edition comes to a close, I want to highlight one thing: our trade show has fully fulfilled its role as a venue for discussion, networking, and knowledge-sharing in the agricultural sector”, emphasized Didier Lucas, President of SPACE.
SPACE 2026 by the numbers:
- Attendance identical to 2025: 100,107
- 1,019 exhibitors, one-third of whom were international
- 5.7 million views on social media since June 1, 2026. A 104% increase in interactions. These figures confirm the strong digital visibility of this edition.
See you in 2027
SPACE is already looking forward to welcoming the entire industry from September 14 to 16, 2027, for its 41st edition, which is already looking ahead to the next forty years.
