The Innov’Space 2026 Award winners have been announced! After carefully reviewing 78 applications, the jury selected 32 outstanding innovations. Among them, 26 received a one-star Innov’Space Award, while 6 were honoured with a two-star Innov’Space Award. The Jury’s Top Choices will be revealed during the Innov’Space Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, September 15, at SPACE.
According to Didier Lucas, Chairman of SPACE, “The diversity of the award-winning innovations reflects the diversity of our exhibitors. It also highlights the dynamism of the companies that choose SPACE to showcase their latest innovations.”
The 2026 awards highlight three major trends: the growing role of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, the continued strength of agricultural machinery innovation, and an increasing focus on animal health and biosecurity.
Digital Technologies and Artificial Intelligence Are Transforming Livestock Management
This year’s awards confirm the growing importance of digital technologies on livestock farms. The selected innovations help farmers monitor, analyse and manage their operations with evergreater precision.
Among the award-winning solutions are MATERNEO (ASSERVA), which automatically adjusts sow feeding; smaRt Weight (IMV Technologies), which estimates piglet weight without handling; Pig’Scan (UNISSIA), which uses artificial intelligence to analyse carcasses and provide objective health and welfare indicators; Bovintel Gestation V2 (IMV Technologies), designed to improve cattle reproduction monitoring; and Lely Hub, a secure server ensuring business continuity for robotic farms. Also recognised is Jabnde (INRAE), a health monitoring application specifically developed to support livestock farmers in Africa.
Seven Innovations Demonstrating the Vitality of Agricultural Machinery
With seven award-winning innovations, agricultural machinery once again stands out as one of the highlights of the Innov’Space Awards.
AGRIPROTECH received an award for LazerTrac® LZT1000-S, an autonomous and intelligent laser bird deterrent system. EMILY was recognised for Plug & Go, enabling operators to connect and disconnect handling equipment without leaving the tractor cab. MAGSI was also rewarded for its innovative pivoting three-point linkage interface. KRONE France received an award for its unique combination of a rotary rake and a round baler, while KUHN was recognised for LIBRAFEED, a weighing system designed for a semiautonomous self-propelled mixer wagon. Kverneland Group France was honoured for the Alentix 8047 G, a high-capacity, high-precision fertiliser spreader. Finally, RMH France completed this category with NEXUS, a fully electric autonomous feeding robot offering extended operating autonomy.
Innovative Solutions for Animal Health
Disease prevention, biosecurity and health monitoring also feature prominently among this year’s award winners.
The jury recognised AviPro™ Salmonella Duo (Elanco), a new vaccination solution for poultry; ANTHELMOGRAM (INRAE), a decision-support tool for antiparasitic treatments; SANIHOUSE (Maison Bleue & Innovlap), designed to strengthen farm biosecurity; PILOT’Elevage Vaccination, which helps farmers easily manage vaccination protocols; and MycoConnect (PROVIMI), dedicated to managing mycotoxin risks in animal nutrition.
Through these awards, SPACE once again confirms its role as a showcase for the innovations shaping the future of animal farming. Visitors will be able to discover all the award-winning solutions during SPACE, from 15 to 17 September 2026.
