Bridging Innovation in European Agri-Food
This year, Rotterdam hosts Synergy Days, a key gathering that unites digital innovators and stakeholders across Europe’s agri-food landscape. Building on the foundation laid by the SmartAgriHubs initiative, the event has created a vibrant forum for four consecutive years, fostering collaboration between EU projects, policymakers, innovation hubs, farmers, and more.
Taking place at De Doelen, Rotterdam, on October 21-22, 2025, Synergy Days offers a rich program of discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to connect and empower the agri-food community.
