Lin’Ovation 2026: European Flax and Hemp in the Field!
June 03, 2026
On 17 and 18 June 2026, Lin’Ovation returns to Ailly-le-Haut-Clocher (80) for its second edition. Two exceptional days will be devoted to the flax fibre and textile hemp sectors. They will be aimed at professionals involved in these crops: flax growers, scutchers, advisers and technical specialists.
Conceived as a hands-on event bringing together stakeholders from across the sector in a practical field setting, Lin’Ovation is organised by ARVALIS in partnership with leading industry organisations. The event offers visitors the opportunity to discover the latest machinery for flax fibre cultivation and harvesting through live demonstrations.
Entièrement dédié au lin fibre et au chanvre textile, ce salon « au champ » réunit experts du lin et industriels autour d’ateliers, de démonstrations et de conférences. Au programme, des sujets tels que : conduite des cultures, qualité de récolte, innovation et compétitivité.
The Alliance at Lin’Ovation 2026
The Alliance will showcase its Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ and Masters of LINEN™ certifications, together with its traceability tools and services designed to support stakeholders throughout the sector. It will take part in the event alongside the French and Belgian professional flax organisations:
- AGPL (Association des producteurs de lin)
- FESTAL (Fédération Syndicale des Coopératives Linières)
- USRTL (Union Syndicale des Rouisseurs-Teilleurs de Lin)
- ABV (Algemeen Belgisch Vlasverbond) the Belgian Flax organisation
All of these organisations will be located within the “Heart of the Sector Village”, a dedicated area designed to encourage dialogue and facilitate exchanges between participants.
Practical Technical Solutions for Immediate Implementation
The exhibition is also expanding with this new edition.
- It will feature more than 130 exhibitors across 12 hectares, twice as many as at the previous event.
- More than 60 experts from ARVALIS and its partners will be present across nine technical hubs and over 20 thematic workshops.
- A dedicated Seed Companies area will highlight advances in plant breeding and genetic innovation, while live demonstrations conducted under real field conditions will showcase winter flax fibre pulling and turning operations.
For professionals, the event provides an excellent opportunity to compare practices and exchange expertise directly in the field. Visitors will be able to explore topics such as soil fertility, crop establishment, integrated crop protection, adaptation to climate change, genetic progress and harvest quality.
All participants will leave with practical solutions that can be implemented directly on their farms.
Make the most of your visit to identify the best strategies for your crops.
