Frutic 2026 - The 16th International FRUTIC Symposium

On 6 February 2026 the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB) once again brought together international experts from science and practice at the FRUTIC Science Symposium at FRUIT LOGISTICA. More than 150 participants took advantage of the event on the Farming Forward stage to discuss current research results and innovative technologies for data-driven, sustainable fruit and vegetable supply. The great response and lively professional exchange confirm FRUTIC's role as a driving force in the industry. The symposium will continue next year – the venue has not yet been decided, but the international community can already look forward to the next edition.
