Representatives from Málaga TechPark, the University of Málaga and the University of Huelva participated in the event, which brought together approximately 9,000 professionals and 217 exhibiting companies.
The European project Agrobotics-DiTwins participated in the third edition of Expo AgriTech 2026, held on 4–5 November at the Málaga Trade Fair and Congress Centre (FYCMA), Spain, with representatives from three consortium partners: Málaga TechPark, the University of Málaga and the University of Huelva.
The event attracted approximately 9,000 agricultural professionals and 217 exhibiting companies, showcasing 604 innovations in agricultural machinery, robotics, artificial intelligence, automation and resource efficiency. The exhibition also hosted the AgriTech 4.0 Congress, bringing together around 300 experts to discuss the main challenges and opportunities of technological transformation in agriculture.
Within this framework, the project was featured in a presentation held on 5 November. The session, delivered by Víctor Muñoz and entitled “Agrobotics-DiTwins: Robotics and Digital Twins to Advance Agriculture 5.0”, introduced the project’s objectives and technological approach.
The presentation highlighted the project’s ambition to facilitate access to advanced technologies for agricultural small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), helping them overcome the economic and technical barriers that often limit their adoption.
Living Labs and Digital Twins: Bringing Innovation Closer to Agriculture
A key component of Agrobotics-DiTwins is the development of a transnational network of Living Labs, collaborative experimentation environments where farmers, researchers and technology companies work together to identify real agricultural needs and develop tailored robotic solutions.
The project promotes the use of digital twins, virtual representations that enable agricultural processes and technological solutions to be simulated and assessed before physical implementation. This approach helps reduce investment risks, improve decision-making and facilitate the adoption of more efficient and sustainable technologies.
European Cooperation to Advance Agriculture 5.0
Agrobotics-DiTwins is co-funded by the Interreg Sudoe Programme 2021–2027 and brings together 13 beneficiary partners and three associated organisations from Spain, France and Portugal, coordinated by the University of Málaga.
The initiative aims to promote sustainability and resource circularity in agricultural processes through robotics, helping improve farm competitiveness while reducing environmental impact.
The participation of Málaga TechPark, the University of Málaga and the University of Huelva in Expo AgriTech 2026 provided an opportunity to raise awareness of the project among agricultural professionals, companies and stakeholders, while bringing its activities closer to an industry audience focused on the technologies that Agrobotics-DiTwins seeks to make more accessible to SMEs across the SUDOE region.
