SPACE 2025: Innovation, exchanges, and record attendance

As in previous years, 333 attended SPACE, the International Livestock Show in Rennes, a can't-miss event for industry professionals. Located in the heart of France's leading livestock region, the Grand Ouest, SPACE 2025 brought together 1,230 exhibitors and more than 102,000 visitors from 125 countries, setting a new attendance record.

Over the course of three days, SPACE highlighted the major challenges facing livestock farming. The central theme of this edition—agricultural intelligence—illustrated the growing role of new technologies and artificial intelligence in serving livestock farmers.

Highlights included:

• The 30th edition of the Innov'Space competition, which awarded 43 innovations, including two with the exceptional distinction of three stars. These projects reflect the sector's priorities: health, well-being, digitalization, and applied AI.
• The first AI Hackathon, a true laboratory of ideas in which data scientists, developers, and agricultural professionals spent two days designing prototypes to respond to challenges in the field (heat stress, automation, health monitoring, etc.).
• A focus on young people in agriculture, with debates, meetings, and activities dedicated to students and young livestock farmers, confirming SPACE's role as a springboard for the agriculture of the future.
• A strong international presence, with delegations from Africa and Asia.
• And finally, this 2025 edition was also marked by gestures of solidarity, such as the collection of milk for food banks.

For 333, it was an opportunity to reconnect with its partners, talk with farmers, and share concrete solutions to the challenges facing the swine industry.

The 2026 edition will be held on September 15, 16, and 17, 2026, in Rennes.
