The trade fair will not take place physically in Hanover, Germany. This decision was reached by the DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft - German Agricultural Society) as the organizer of the two leading trade fairs, following extensive meetings with industry representatives, the advisory board and partners. The "EuroTier / EnergyDecentral digital" events offer exhibitors a broad offering and maximum flexibility with digital business packages, while offering visitors an extensive technical program and attractive networking opportunities. For 2021, the DLG will also offer additional events and trade fairs on all aspects of the topics of animal husbandry and decentralized energy supply.
 
"The increasing number of corona cases worldwide and the related restrictive travel guidelines for both exhibitors and visitors require flexible business solutions and information services, like those offered by the 'EuroTier / EnergyDecentral digital' events," explained Dr. Reinhard Grandke, CEO of the DLG. "Our digital trade fairs are both international business platforms and expert networks for the current issues of the animal production and energy sectors."

Inform & Connect – EuroTier and EnergyDecentral as a digital platform

Inform & Connect: With digital company profiles, live events including chat and meeting functions, "EuroTier / EnergyDecentral digital" offers a broad range of communication and interaction opportunities for exhibitors and visitors. The digital technical program with DLG Spotlights on the key trade fair topics of Dairy, Pig, Poultry, Energy, Emission Control and Direct farm sales, as well as live discussions from the DLG Studio provide the perfect setting for planning investments.
 
"For the DLG, it's important to make the entry into the digital world of EuroTier and EnergyDecentral as easy as possible. Therefore, we've put together three different exhibition packages for our exhibitors that can be used individually and expanded flexibly. Participation in the technical program and additional advertising options complete the range of services, which is equally attractive for national and international exhibitors. We offer maximum reach and flexibility for addressing visitors as well as transparent and secure investment planning," said Dr. Karl Schlösser, Project Manager of EuroTier, emphasizing the advantages for the exhibiting companies.
 
The same applies for the visitors of the digital platform. After a one-time online registration, visitors can obtain information on the products and services of the exhibitors, contact them directly and actively participate in numerous events and discussions of the technical program. "We therefore offer visitors a simple way to specifically contact the appropriate contacts within the exhibiting company and to plan investments with them," said Dr. Schlösser.
