Hall 23b, Booth 243
With a diverse program, the DiP network, the accompanying research and seven research projects will present their current results and demonstrate how digital innovations are revolutionizing agriculture.
Our program and projects in detail:
16.01.2026: DiP-DIAMANT – Digital Breeding for Resilient Varieties
The DiP-DIAMANT project uses high-throughput phenotyping and artificial intelligence to identify cereals that cope particularly well with drought and heat. Using state-of-the-art sensor technology, thousands of plants are analyzed simultaneously to find the best candidates for breeding climate-adapted varieties.
17.-18.01.2026: DiPredict – Precise forecasts for optimal yields
Using multispectral remote sensing and machine learning , DiPredict develops predictive models that accurately predict the optimal harvest time and the expected quality of their products for farmers. The integration of satellite data, drone images and ground sensors enables field-specific recommendations. DiPredict is a partner project of the DiP network.
19.01.2026: Saxony-Anhalt Day with association spokesperson Prof. Dr. Klaus Pillen
On Saxony-Anhalt Day, Prof. Dr. Klaus Pillen will present the vision of the DiP network and illustrate how the bioeconomy model region in southern Saxony-Anhalt is becoming a pioneer for sustainable, digitalised agriculture.
20.01.2026: DiP-Tres2Cera and DiP-NA-WIR – Circular Economy in Action
DiP-Tres2Cera transforms agricultural residues such as pomace into high-quality waxes and oils for cosmetics and industry through innovative biorefinery processes . DiP-NA-WIR cultivates drought-resistant medicinal plants such as hardy rosemary, sage and Chinese bush nettle and taps their active ingredients for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
21.01.2026: Project-Integrated Accompanying Research – Knowledge Transfer
How can new ideas from the bioeconomy find their way from the laboratory to everyday life? The project-integrated accompanying research of Fraunhofer IKTS examines innovative approaches from a technological, ecological and economic perspective. Digital tools, techno-economic analyses (TEA) and life cycle analyses (LCA) are used to make value chains more efficient and to check their sustainability.
22.01.2026: DiP-SuSaKlim – Climate-resilient cultivation systems
DiP-SuSaKlim develops climate-adapted cultivation systems for chickpeas, amaranth and other “superfoods” in organic farming. Innovative crop rotations are tested with digital field sensors , and new regional products are created in the FoodLab – a perfect combination of traditional organic farming with digital innovation.
23.01.2026: Agriculture Day – Focus on sustainable systems
DiP-SMART Agroforestry shows how agroforestry systems contribute to climate resilience through digital cadastre, remote sensing and AI and provide bio-based raw materials for the chemical industry. DiP-FaiReSyst uses drones and LiDAR technology to capture field margins and strengthen biodiversity and erosion control through targeted management.
24.-25.01.2026: DiP Network – Synergies and Future Perspectives
On the last two days, the DiP network will present itself. Visitors will be able to find out more about the network and how individual innovations can be used to create a holistic system for the bioeconomy region.
The projects impressively demonstrate how digital twins, precision agriculture and artificial intelligence bridge the gap between excellent research and practical application. The focus is on the transformation of southern Saxony-Anhalt from a traditional agricultural region to an innovative bioeconomy location.
