Every day at 3 p.m., in the Espace Conférence, Alliance experts will lead a conference on: Economy, Europe as world leader, and what about outsiders: China, Egypt, and the Masters of FLAX FIBRETM - meeting the expectations of consumers and brands.

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.

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.
