EuroTier Seeks Startups Developing Innovative Solutions for Turkey Farming

This was announced by the exhibition organizers, DLG.

According to the organizers, the concept with the greatest impact will gain access to a partner farm that will financially support the further development of the project.

«Under the motto «Tradition Meets Startups,» DLG connects agricultural enterprises with innovative startups. The goal is to use DLG’s network of around 30,000 members to bring innovations aimed at improving animal welfare into practical application, while also providing startups with valuable feedback based on real farming experience. The main focus is on systems capable of operating autonomously in turkey housing facilities, stimulating animal activity, and detecting behavioral abnormalities at an early stage,» the statement said.

Applications are open until June 15.

The application process consists of four stages:

• After applications are submitted, an independent expert jury will conduct a preliminary selection.
• During the third stage, shortlisted startups will present their concepts to the jury and selected farmers at EuroTier 2026.
• At the final stage, the most convincing concept will be further developed in close cooperation with a turkey farm.

The winners will receive a cash prize of €9,000.
