TECNALIA will share the keys factors to turn technological innovation into real impact at Expo AgriTech
On 4th and 5th November, Málaga will welcome thousands of agricultural professionals to ’ Expo Agritech, an event focusing on the latest innovations in machinery, equipment, irrigation systems, biotechnology and precision farming. It also features professional content in the Agritech 4.0 Congress.
During the event, TECNALIA will share its experience supporting companies across the entire agri-food chain in the development, validation and scaling up of new technologies capable of addressing some of the sector’s major challenges: sustainability, resource efficiency, the digitalisation of processes, food safety and the development of new products and by-products.
- Our colleague, Javier González, Head of Strategic Health Initiatives, will explain how collaboration between companies and technology centres accelerates the time it takes for innovation to reach the market during the round-table discussion “From the laboratory to the market: how to collaborate with a technology centre (and make it work)”. The session will be held on 5th November at 10 am at the ADN Agro Theatre.
- The round-table discussion will focus on a key aspect for business competitiveness: how to turn scientific and technological knowledge into solutions that have a real impact on the market. In this respect, technology centres play a vital role as innovation partners, linking research, industry and the market to reduce risks, accelerate development and facilitate the adoption of new technologies.

TECNALIA works with companies, start-ups, co-operatives and organisations in the agri-food sector to develop solutions that help build more sustainable and resilient food systems.
- Our capabilities cover areas such as the digitalisation of the food industry, artificial intelligence applied to production processes, traceability, advanced monitoring, new ingredients and foods, biotechnology, sustainable packaging and the assessment of food safety and quality.
- We also promote knowledge transfer and the development of collaborative projects that enable companies to accelerate their innovation processes and validate technologies in real environments in order to facilitate their entry into the market.
A forum to connect innovation and companies
Expo AgriTech 2026 will bring together thousands of professionals from the agricultural and agri-food sectors in Málaga, along with technology companies, start-ups, research centres and leading organisations within the innovation ecosystem.
