Powering agricultural progress: What to expect at SUMMIT 2026

As we continue our transformation, our flagship event is evolving too. Welcome to AGRAYA SUMMIT 2026, where forward-thinking minds will come together to build the future of agriculture.

Taking place on 27–29 October 2026 in (Bologna Congress Center) Bologna, Italy, this global gathering will bring together leaders and changemakers from across the agricultural value chain. Participants will include producers, cooperatives, researchers, retailers, civil society organizations, and others. 

The SUMMIT is more than a meeting point. It is a platform for shared purpose, practical solutions, and greater alignment in a rapidly evolving sector.

A platform for action, not just ideas

At a time of increasing complexity in agriculture, the SUMMIT offers a space for future-focused dialogue grounded in real-world impact. Expect open conversation, innovative thinking, and meaningful collaboration across sectors and borders.

The agenda will be shaped by AGRAYA’s five strategic pillars, which guide the direction of our work: 

• Scaling regenerative and climate-smart practices 

• Advancing farmer empowerment and agency 

• Promoting inclusive technology and innovation 

• Enabling collaborative governance and systemic change 

• Driving equitable value chains 

These pillars are not just themes; they will serve as the foundation for partnerships and decisions that will extend beyond the event itself. 

Spotlight on women in agriculture

In recognition of the United Nations International Year of Women Farmers, AGRAYA SUMMIT 2026 will highlight the leadership, innovation, and contributions of women across the agricultural sector. This theme will also shape the Changemaker Awards, which celebrate individuals and organizations advancing gender equity and driving meaningful change.
