Each year, SPACE further establishes itself as an essential global meeting point for the livestock industry. In 2025, 12,000 visitors from 120 countries are expected in Rennes, confirming the Show’s unique role as a place for networking, sharing, and turning investment projects into reality. Whether they are farmers, technicians, institutional representatives, or investors, everyone comes to SPACE to discover the latest innovations and strengthen their partnerships.
Africa, a major partner of SPACE
The African continent is taking on an increasingly central role in the Show’s international dynamic. In 2024, it already accounted for nearly one-third of international visitors from 32 countries.
This year, several official delegations from Senegal, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Guinea, Cameroon, and Nigeria have confirmed their participation. They will highlight the strategic role of SPACE for the future of animal production in Africa, particularly in the pursuit of food autonomy and the strengthening of local capacities.

The great return of poultry training at SPACE for West African professionals
A highlight of this edition, SPACE 2025 will mark the much-anticipated return of poultry training dedicated to West African professionals, last organized in 2018. Over the course of one week, farmers, technicians, and veterinarians from Senegal, Guinea, Togo, and Côte d’Ivoire will follow a program combining technical training, specialized conferences, farm visits in Brittany, and privileged meetings with exhibitors. This initiative, organized with Innozh and several exhibiting companies (Hubbard, NTD, Phosphea, and Vitalac), reflects SPACE’s commitment to supporting the concrete development of the African poultry sector.
