SAE BRASIL Symposium highlights perspectives for the machinery sector

Agroeconomic perspectives, the vision of large manufacturers in relation to the market, technologies in agricultural machinery and implements and new business opportunities will be debated at the 11th SAE BRASIL Symposium on Agricultural Machines, traditional meeting on the segment's calendar in the country. The meeting will be held on August 29th, at the FIERGS (Federation of Industries of Rio Grande do Sul) Convention Hall, in Porto Alegre, RS.

“The prospects for the agro-economic scenario for grain production in Brazil are promising and the agricultural machinery segment is going through a moment of positive expectations in relation to new agreements, such as Mercosur with the European Union and the impact of the presence of the OECD ( Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) in Brazil. This symposium aims to discuss and shed light on these topics, among others”, points out Daniel Zacher, general director of Tekter Consultoria and chairperson of the symposium. 

The meeting will dedicate the morning to agro-economic perspectives and the market vision from the main manufacturers. In the afternoon, the focus will be on technologies in agricultural machinery and implements, in addition to opportunities in services in the segment, especially electrification, IoT and remote communication.

Luis Fernando Felli, president of AGCO South America, will give the opening lecture of the symposium in the morning, with the presentation of the theme “Agricultural evolution until the generation of Agriculture 4.0”. Next, Carlos Cogo, specialist partner-director of Cogo Intelligence in Agribusiness, will talk about the challenges and opportunities for Brazilian agribusiness.

Edson Vendruscolo, Operations Director of the O Telhar Agro Group, begins the afternoon program with the agricultural producer's vision in the lecture “Trends and Perspectives on Mechanization and Technologies” (see preliminary schedule).

 In addition to panel debates and lectures presented by executives from leading companies in the agricultural segment, consultancies and representative associations in the segment, the symposium will also feature a Technological Exhibition with product and service launches by companies such as Braslux, Perkins, Formel D, FRM, Siemens, Timken , Hella/Sinal Sul, SSAB and Powemig.
