EIMA International 2026 locks in record scale ahead of November Bologna show

Why it matters: EIMA is one of the world's biggest agricultural machinery fairs, and this year's growth signals strong manufacturer confidence heading into 2027 launches.
Organiser FederUnacoma has confirmed EIMA International 2026 will run Tuesday 10 to Saturday 14 November at the Bologna Exhibition Centre, its first time opening on a Tuesday. The federation says the show has effectively sold out, with exhibitor space at capacity and more than 100 companies on a waiting list, prompting a new Hall 35 and extra temporary halls. A judging panel has named 19 "Technical Innovations" and 35 "Technical Evolution" awards, covering everything from AI-based safety systems to hybrid power units, selected across roughly 60,000 machinery models in 14 product categories.
