Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE) – our strategic educational partner in the programme

Supporting professional talent development is a key objective for us; therefore, our programme features a prominent role for our strategic educational partner, the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE).

The aim of the cooperation is to equip the younger generation with up-to-date knowledge and a practical mindset to prepare them for the challenges shaping the future of agriculture.

MATE welcomes visitors with two engaging presentations:

  • Trends in agricultural engineering technologies – from tractors to artificial intelligence – 21 January (12:00–12:30)
  • 75 years of independent higher education in agricultural engineering – 21 January (15:00–16:00)

The aim of the programmes is to provide a comprehensive overview of developments in agricultural technology and to highlight the role of education in shaping the future of the sector.


Latest updates from the National CAP Network

Across the three days of the exhibition, separate presentations will cover the latest updates from the National CAP Network. The aim of the programmes is to provide a comprehensive overview of current issues affecting the agricultural sector, changes in the support environment, and practical experiences. It is worth following the presentations each day, as visitors will be welcomed with up-to-date information and different focuses from day to day.

Presentation times:
