Helsinki Agricultural Machinery Fair 2020 will be rescheduled to autumn 2022, Agricultural Machinery online 365 Service to be launched this autumn

Messukeskus has decided together with its cooperation partners to reschedule the Helsinki Agricultural Machinery  Fair in November with two years to 2022. The decision is based on an exceptional autumn and uncertainty about the development of the Corona situation. The following Helsinki Agricultural Machinery Fair will be organized 13-15 October 2022, as the event will not be held the same year as KoneAgria in October 2021. The Helsinki Agricultural Machinery  Fair will not abandon companies in the branch nor agricultural entrepreneurs, but offers them the Agricultural Machinery Online 365 service in finnish.

”Preparing for a big machine fair takes a lot of time and the stakes are financially high for companies. In the current situation, one cannot be certain of the situation in November regarding the organization of events. Companies in the industry are particularly concerned about the health of their staff and clients“, says Leo Potkonen at Messukeskus. “Situations change quickly this autumn. We just recently announced that safety masks would be used at the Helsinki Agricultural Machinery  Fair. As the Corona situation has become worse, also consequences come quickly. Messukeskus hosts events for the Finnish business community. We are now in a situation where companies want to reschedule the event, which we now will do. At Messukeskus we have already started planning the organization of Helsinki Agricultural Machinery Fair online. This way the companies registered to participate in the Helsinki Agricultural Machinery  Fair can gain visibility already in the autumn of 2020. The Helsinki Agricultural Machinery Online 365 service brings current news from exhibitors to the attention of the fair’s target audience, supports the machinery business and strengthens the national visibility of the Helsinki Agricultural Machinery  Fair. The online implementation together with the companies’ regional client encounters work excellently in this situation.”

The decision to reschedule was made unanimously in the development group of the Helsinki Agricultural Machinery  Fair by representatives for Messukeskus and operators within the business. “We have been following the development of the situation closely. The exhibition would have been desirable, but because we want to act responsibly, we decided to reschedule the event. Our decision was also influenced by the client feed-back we received,” says CEO Jyrki Lepistö from Hankkija.

The participation of companies in the Helsinki Agricultural Machinery Fair 2020 will be transferred directly to 2022.

The largest indoor agricultural event in Finland Helsinki Agricultural Machinery Fair was intended to be held at Messukeskus for the second time 5-7 November 2020. In 2018 the event was visited by 16,800 professionals in the agricultural and forestry business, as well as professionals interested in machines and equipment for taking care of and contracting of outdoor areas. There were more than 350 exhibitors. In 2022, the Helsinki Agricultural Machinery Fair will be held 13-15 October 2022, more extensive than before, in Messukeskus’ five halls.

 Messukeskus organizes the Helsinki Agricultural Machinery  Fair in co-operation with AGCO Finland, Agritek, Hankkija, Lantmännen Agro, NHK-keskus, ProAgria and Turun Konekeskus.
