Of the award-winning innovations, 26 received a 1-star Innov’Space award and six received the 2-star Innov’Space distinction. The Jury’s Special Awards will be announced during the awards ceremony to be held on Tuesday, 15 September at SPACE.
According to Didier Lucas, President of SPACE, “The diversity of the award-winning innovations reflects the diversity of our exhibitors. It also highlights the dynamism of the companies that choose SPACE to showcase their latest developments.”
The 2026 awards highlight three major trends: the growing role of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, the momentum in agricultural machinery, and an increasing focus on animal health and biosecurity.
Digital technologies and artificial intelligence transform farm management
The awards confirm the growing role of digital technologies on farms. The winning innovations make it possible to measure, analyse and manage livestock production with ever greater precision. Award-winning solutions include MATERNEO (ASSERVA), which automatically adapts sow feeding; smaRt Weight (IMV Technologies), which estimates piglet weight without handling; Pig'Scan (UNISSIA), which uses artificial intelligence to analyse carcasses and provide objective health and welfare indicators; Bovintel Gestation V2 (IMV Technologies), for monitoring cattle reproduction; and Lely Hub, a secure server that ensures continuity of operations on robotic farms. Finally, Jabnde (INRAE) is a health monitoring application specifically developed to support livestock farmers in Africa.
Seven innovations highlight the dynamism of agricultural machinery
With seven award-winning innovations, agricultural machinery once again features prominently among the Innov’Space winners.
AGRIPROTECH presents the LazerTrac® LZT1000-S, an autonomous, intelligent laser deterrent system; Plug & Go (EMILY) allows farmers to connect and disconnect handling equipment without leaving the cab; and MAGSI also brings innovation to handling operations with its pivoting three-point interface. KRONE France was recognised for an innovative combination of a windrower and a round baler, while KUHN’s LIBRAFEED is a weighing system for semi-autonomous self-propelled mixer wagons. Kverneland Group France was also awarded for the Alentix 8047 G, a fertiliser spreader combining high capacity with high precision. Finally, RMH France completes the list with NEXUS, an autonomous electric feeding robot offering a high degree of operating autonomy.
Innovative solutions for animal health
Disease prevention, biosecurity and health monitoring are another major focus of this year’s awards. Among the solutions recognised by the jury are AviPro™ Salmonella Duo (Elanco), which provides a new vaccination solution for poultry; ANTHELMOGRAM (INRAE), a decision-support tool for antiparasitic treatments; SANIHOUSE (Maison Bleue and Innovlap), designed to strengthen farm biosecurity; PILOT’Elevage vaccination, which enables farmers to easily manage their vaccination protocols; and MycoConnect (PROVIMI), designed to manage mycotoxin risks in animal nutrition.
Through these awards, SPACE confirms its role as a showcase for innovations shaping the future of the livestock sectors. Visitors will be able to discover all the award-winning solutions at the show from 15 to 17 September 2026.
