3 Days, 3 video seminars events to Launch the First Italian Remote AgTech Cohort
U.S. importers, dealers and agribusiness professionals are invited to join the April Italian AgTech Demo Days on the World Ag Expo OnLine platform to learn about the latest innovations in Italian farming machinery.
Three video seminars followed by targeted demos will showcase new products, strategies and technologies to interested digital guests. The DEMO DAYS are organized and promoted by ITA (Italian Trade Agency, the Governmental agency that supports the business development of Italian companies abroad) and FederUnacoma, the Italian Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Federation. According to the US Department of Commerce, since 2018 Italy has been the seventh largest supplier of agricultural machinery and equipment to the U.S. For “Made in Italy” exports of agricultural machinery, the United States is a key market.
Throughout 2020, Italian tractors and ag machinery exports grew to $448 Million, a value practically on par with the strong two years that preceded it. The first 2021 data shows an encouraging growth trend of +7.8% compared to the same period of 2020.
The DEMO DAYS are a series of free digital events open to all attendees for three Tuesdays in a row in the month of April. Each DEMO DAY will host an educational session with Lessiter Media experts and U.S. market dedicated product demonstrations specifically created by Italian manufacturers. Registrants will be presented with complimentary AgTech insight reports and for the entire months of April and May the possibility to win an AEI VIP Subscription by a digital raffle.
Event Attending is for FREE
Every digital event will focus on a different topic, let’s check the program
