A lively exchange for all those who create solutions for a sustainable agricultural and food system – this is what the annual Ideenfutter Expo of the Foodhub NRW offers on 24.9.2025 at Gare du Neuss. For the 7th time, the event will bring together over 350 innovators from the agricultural and food industry – from start-ups and researchers to agricultural businesses, SMEs, corporates and investors.

Look forward to: solutions for today, ideas for tomorrow and visions for the future.

🔹 40 exhibitors with innovative solutions for farm, production and trade
🔹 Pitch stage: Scientific teams present their ideas for a circular food system – and scout for pilot partners

🔹 Keynote by Prof. Dr. Kathleen Diener (Hochschule Niederrhein, University of Applied Sciences) on success factors for innovation and lively science transfer

🔹 Keynote by Max Esser-Geneschen on the transformation of a traditional butcher’s business – and new impetus for the trade
🔹 5 business talks at round tables on topics such as: Regional material cycles in the bioeconomy, AI in agriculture, automation of production or the new alternative protein megatrend: hybrid products

🔹 2 Short-Workshops on promotion and internationalization

At the heart of the event: exchange at eye level – between people who otherwise rarely speak to each other. Science meets craftsmanship, start-up meets trade, production meets technology.
