Agriculture is evolving, and staying ahead requires more than understanding the latest trends. It requires practical knowledge, technical expertise and access to the professionals shaping the industry's future.

At Growtech Middle East 2026, our Technical Seminars bring together agricultural specialists, researchers, industry leaders and practitioners for three days of expert-led learning, technical discussions and knowledge exchange.

From sustainable poultry production and aquaculture innovation to food security, veterinary medicine and resource-efficient agriculture, discover solutions and insights you can apply in your field.

And there's more: Attendees can receive a printed Certificate of Attendance onsite, recognising their participation in the technical learning programme.

Certificates of Attendance will be available onsite for eligible seminar and workshop participants. Collection details will be communicated at the event.
