Additionally, CLIMMAR President Rinaldin presented certificates to commend the outstanding work done by some CLIMMAR members in the field of education.
The Dealerday attracted a large number of tractor dealers, agricultural mechanisation companies and students of agricultural and agricultural mechanisation disciplines.

he event, which focused on precision farming, received considerable attention, particularly due to the special participation of CLIMMAR, two Dutch schools, and around ten Dutch agricultural mechanisation companies. The event was held with 150 attendees across multiple sessions, under the auspices of the Belgian Presidency of the European Union.

The morning started with an insightful overview by EPEC on software and the potential applications of PLC control in Isobus. In addition, ILVO conducted a workshop on data and dealers, which stimulated discussions on the evolving role of dealers in the agri-data space. Flanders Make also contributed with a workshop on remote support options, presenting various methods, including VR headsets and smartphones, for providing remote technical support.
After a productive networking lunch, the event featured a Jobdate session, where final year students were able to conduct speed dating style interviews with potential employers.
Following the networking sessions, AGCO presented its solutions for mixed fleets, while Jalaco Agri and Coysman shared their practical experiences of using precision farming tools. The International Office of Thomas More concluded the day with an interesting workshop on setting up international internships.
Reflecting on the event, both Fedagrim and Thomas More expressed satisfaction with the enriching experiences shared throughout the day.
