Bomech B.V. | Bomech Trac-Pack trailing shoe with umbilical system

Exhibiting Company Name
Bomech B.V.
Product or Service Description
Name of product or service:
Bomech Trac-Pack trailing shoe with umbilical system
Product Website:
https://www.bomech.org/producten/trac-pack-3/
Explain why this is an innovation:
The Bomech Trac-Pack with umbilical system combines high-capacity umbilical manure application with precise, low-impact slurry placement directly at soil level. Unlike conventional dribble bar or splash plate systems that distribute slurry on top of the crop, the Bomech trailing shoe system places the slurry directly on or immediately above the soil surface. The trailing shoes gently open the crop canopy and place the slurry at soil level, reducing contact with the crop and supporting more precise nutrient placement. A second key innovation is the development of a 6-inch version of the Trac-Pack umbilical system, specifically for the Canadian market. Bomech’s established European systems typically use 4-inch or 5-inch umbilcial systems. The Canadian market often require substantially higher pumping capacities and larger-diameter umbilical hoses. The new 6-inch umbilical system has therefore been engineered to accommodate these high-capacity systems. The Trac-Pack controls and guides the umbilical system while allowing the umbilical system to swivel during headland turns. This enables smooth and controlled hose movement even with a large-diameter, high-capacity umbilical system. The innovation is therefore not simply an increase in hose diameter. It combines high-capacity manure transport, controlled hose handling and precise trailing shoe application at soil level in one integrated system, specifically adapted to the requirements of the Canadian market.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
The purpose of the Bomech Trac-Pack umbilical system is to enable efficient, high-capacity umbilical slurry application while maintaining precise placement of manure at soil level. The trailing shoes place the slurry directly at soil level rather than distributing it over the crop. This helps reduce crop contamination and allows nutrients to be applied more precisely. By placing the slurry close to the soil improves the conditions for efficient nutrient utilization. The nutrients in manure are placed where they can be taken up by the crop, rather than being distributed over the crop canopy. Minimizing losses of nutrients during and after application is important for maximizing the fertilizer value of manure.
Describe target market(s):
The primary target market is Canadian livestock and crop farms and professional custom manure application contractors using high-capacity umbilical slurry systems.

Britespan Building Systems Inc. | Fabric Buildings

Exhibiting Company Name
Britespan Building Systems Inc.
Product or Service Description
Name of product or service:
Fabric Buildings
Product Website:
https://britespanbuildings.com/
Explain why this is an innovation:
Most farm buildings still look the same as they always have: steel siding, dim inside, and a build timeline that eats into a season farmers can’t spare. Fabric buildings are still the less common path in Canadian ag, and that’s kind of the point. Instead of a solid steel shell, we build with a tensioned fabric membrane over a clear-span steel frame. No interior columns, no punctured cladding. The payoff is a building flooded with natural light all day, so there’s less need for artificial lighting, and a space that’s naturally cooler in summer and warmer in winter, without the energy costs conventional buildings carry. In a lot of ways, this is us going back to our roots. Before technology sped everything up and building became about the fastest, cheapest shortcut, it was about solid engineering behind a product you actually believed in. That’s the mindset we build from. Nothing flashy, no app or sensor attached to it, just a smarter way to build shelter that goes up faster than conventional construction (because farmers can’t wait around on a build crew during calving or harvest), and one that’s engineered to last a generation, because farms get passed down and the buildings on them should hold up just as long. Our founder grew up on a farm before he ever picked up a welder’s torch, so this isn’t theory to us. It’s a building style built by someone who actually needed it first, and it’s one that’s steadily gaining ground with farmers who’ve tried it and stuck with it.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
Britespan’s fabric buildings give farmers a building that actually works with them, not against them. The real innovation isn’t just the building itself, it’s the time and money it hands back to the farmer. A faster build means no losing a planting window or a calving season to a long construction timeline. A structure that’s engineered to last means fewer repairs and less money sunk into upkeep down the road. And with natural light flooding the space and better airflow built in, farmers aren’t paying extra in energy costs just to keep the lights on or the building comfortable. That’s the purpose, really: we handle the shelter, so farmers can put their time, money, and focus where it actually matters, into the animals, the crops, and the work they do best. It’s a bit of a partnership that way. We build strong and fast, they get to focus on what they’re good at, and everybody comes out ahead.
Describe target market(s):
Our target market spans Canadian farmers of all sizes, from dairy, beef, hog, and poultry operations to cash crop, equine, and equipment storage needs.

CredoSense Inc | CredoSense Outdoor Crop Health Diagnostics System

Exhibiting Company Name
CredoSense Inc
Product or Service Description
Name of product or service:
CredoSense Outdoor Crop Health Diagnostics System
Product Website:
www.credosense.com
Explain why this is an innovation:
CredoSense is an end-to-end, physiology-first diagnostic workflow for outdoor field crops. Rather than relying only on satellite imagery, weather data, or visual scouting to indicate that a crop may be under stress, it combines satellite and radar screening with targeted, in-field evidence: local microclimate and soil conditions, airborne fungal spore pressure, and direct leaf-level physiological measurements. Our agronomic AI engine then evaluates these converging signals to identify the primary stress driver and recommend the next practical action. This allows growers and agronomists to move from a broad field-level alert to a diagnosis within the affected grid—distinguishing, for example, water or heat stress, nutrient imbalance, and biological pressure when they may present similar visible symptoms. The result is earlier (7-10 days), more confident (95-97% accuracy), and more targeted irrigation, nutrition, and crop-protection decisions, with less unnecessary scouting (30% less), input use, and field passes.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
CredoSense helps outdoor growers and crop advisors detect emerging crop stress early, pinpoint the field areas that require attention, confirm what is causing the stress, and act before yield or crop quality is materially affected. For outdoor fields, satellite and radar data flag at-risk zones. The system then guides targeted sampling and combines canopy-level microclimate, soil moisture and root-zone conditions, fungal spore pressure, leaf wetness, weather forecasts, and rapid leaf-level crop measurements. It delivers crop- and growth-stage-specific recommendations for irrigation, nutrient management, crop protection, and further field checks. Recommendations and zone-level outputs can be used alongside existing farm-management and precision-application workflows.
Describe target market(s):
Primary market: Canadian outdoor field-crop and broadacre growers, including corn, soybean, wheat, canola, potato, various beans and other row-crop operations where early stress detection and precise input decisions affect yield and profitability. Secondary markets: specialty-crop growers; independent agronomists and crop advisors managing multiple farms; agricultural retailers and crop-input advisors; farm-management organizations; Initial geographic focus: Ontario and other Canadian regions with intensive outdoor crop production, variable weather, disease pressure, and adoption of precision-agriculture practices.

CATTLEytics Inc. | CATTLEytics Youngstock Intelligence

Exhibiting Company Name
CATTLEytics Inc.
Product or Service Description
Name of product or service:
CATTLEytics Youngstock Intelligence
Product Website:
www.cattleytics.com – product does not have a dedicated website at the moment of entry.
Explain why this is an innovation:
Today’s calves and heifers are tomorrow’s milking herd. They carry some of the farm’s highest genetic potential and represent years of future production, so getting the youngstock program right has a long-term impact on the success of the dairy. Yet when you are raising dozens or hundreds of young animals, small changes can be easy to miss. A few more scours cases, slower colostrum feeding or extra treatments may feel like isolated events until a bigger pattern starts to show. CATTLEytics Youngstock Intelligence brings together information that has traditionally lived in paper sheets, Excel files, treatment records, different software systems and, often, in the heads of the people working with the calves every day. It connects colostrum timing and quality, feeding information, health events, treatments and mortality into one clear picture of the youngstock program. Owners can see where performance is changing, while employees can clearly see what still needs to be done for each calf, helping make sure important follow-up care does not get missed between people or shifts. The innovation is turning scattered youngstock information into one shared picture for both management and the people doing the work. It helps the farmer understand what is changing across the herd, while giving the team clarity on what each calf needs next, so fewer things fall through the cracks and more of today’s calves have the opportunity to become tomorrow’s high-performing cows.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
The purpose of CATTLEytics Youngstock Intelligence is to give both managers and employees a clear, shared view of what is happening in the youngstock program and what each animal needs next. For owners and managers, it brings scattered information together so they can see trends in colostrum, health, treatments and mortality and recognize where performance may be changing. For employees, it makes follow-up care and outstanding tasks easier to see, helping ensure important steps are not missed between people, shifts or days. The result is better continuity of care for each calf, clearer teamwork in the barn and better information for management decisions, helping protect the investment the farm is making in its future milking herd.
Describe target market(s):
CATTLEytics Youngstock Intelligence is designed primarily for dairy farms across Canada that want a clearer, more consistent way to manage calves and heifers. It is especially valuable for farms who like date insights for informed youngstock decisions , multiple employees, where information and follow-up care can easily become spread across people, paper records and different systems. Primary users include dairy owners, herd managers, calf and youngstock managers, and the employees responsible for daily youngstock care. Veterinarians and youngstock consultants are also an important market, because the platform gives them and their client farms a shared view of health trends, colostrum performance, treatments and management results, helping support more focused conversations and recommendations.

CATTLEytics Inc. | CATTLEytics Field Guide – Farm Knowledge & Workforce Learning Platform

Exhibiting Company Name
CATTLEytics Inc.
Product or Service Description
Name of product or service:
CATTLEytics Field Guide – Farm Knowledge & Workforce Learning Platform
Product Website:
https://cattleytics.com
Explain why this is an innovation:
CATTLEytics Field Guide turns a farm’s static knowledge into a living, data-connected learning system. Agricultural businesses generate enormous amounts of valuable information—protocols, PDFs, videos, veterinary recommendations, production reports and operating procedures—but these resources are often disconnected from both the employees who need them and the data being generated by the farm. Field Guide brings these pieces together. Farms can upload existing materials or identify trusted agricultural sources and use AI to rapidly create structured educational content, quizzes, translations and audio learning materials. These resources can then be assembled into role-specific onboarding and continuing-education plans, assigned to employees and tracked over time. Trusted advisors and suppliers—veterinarians, nutritionists and financial advisors, and feed-additive, animal-health and equipment companies—can also create educational content in Field Guide and make it available to the farms they serve, so specialized expertise reaches the teams who put it into practice. What makes Field Guide different from a conventional document library or learning-management system is its connection to the farm itself. Educational material can be displayed alongside live reports and data from the dairy’s production, health, feed and management systems. A lesson on milk quality, for example, can sit beside the farm’s current milk-quality results; a transition-cow protocol can be connected to current transition-cow performance. The result is a new way for farms to connect knowledge, people and data—turning information that previously sat in binders, computers and separate software systems into something employees can learn from and use every day.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
Modern farms rely on increasingly sophisticated equipment, data and management practices, while also facing labour shortages, employee turnover and multilingual workforces. Yet critical farm knowledge is often scattered across binders, PDFs, videos, computers and individual managers. New employees may receive inconsistent onboarding, experienced employees have limited opportunities to develop their skills, and managers have few practical ways to confirm that important procedures have been understood. CATTLEytics Field Guide gives farms one place to organize that knowledge and turn it into practical workforce training. Farms can create onboarding programs, assign learning by role, translate material for employees who speak different languages, provide mobile and audio learning options, test understanding and track employee progress. Field Guide can also continuously reinforce learning through the tools employees already use. Quiz questions, “Did You Know?” content, learning progress and skill leaderboards can appear in the CATTLEytics mobile application and farm dashboards. Its purpose is simple: help farms preserve what they know, teach it consistently, develop their people and connect learning to what is actually happening on the farm.
Describe target market(s):
Primary market: Dairy farms employing multiple workers, particularly farms that need structured onboarding, multilingual training, standardized protocols and continuing employee development. Secondary markets: Other livestock and agricultural businesses, crop operations, agricultural advisors, veterinarians, nutritionists, financial experts, producer organizations, and feed-additive, animal-health and equipment companies. These advisors and suppliers are not only potential users but content partners—they can build educational material in Field Guide and make it available to the farms and clients they serve. The platform is particularly relevant to farms where labour is limited, employee responsibilities are becoming more specialized, or important operational knowledge currently resides with only one or two key people.

By combining RTK-based autosteer, visual odometry, and AI-powered crop sensing in one modular retrofit system, FieldBee Vision ensures that farmers can maintain productivity and sustainability over the long term, regardless of changes in crop type, terrain, or farm size. Long-term benefits for users: Sustainability and efficiency: VisionPro’s real-time crop analysis and Variable Rate Application (VRA) capabilities reduce fertiliser and pesticide use while maintaining or improving yields. This directly supports ongoing EU and global sustainability goals, helping farmers comply with environmental standards and improve soil health. Adaptability: The modular design means that the system can evolve alongside the user’s farm. As new algorithms, camera sensors, or ISOBUS-compatible implements become available, the platform can be updated or expanded — extending its relevance for years. Labour reduction and accessibility: VisionSteer reduces operator fatigue and training time, allowing even less-experienced drivers to achieve professional-level precision. In a context of ageing rural populations and skilled labour shortages, this makes farming operations more resilient. Future-readiness: With its AI-based architecture and camera + RTK fusion, FieldBee Vision creates a pathway toward greater automation and, eventually, semi- or fully autonomous tractor operation. This positions it as part of the long-term technological transformation of agriculture. Market longevity and company vision: FieldBee’s entire product strategy centres on making advanced precision technologies accessible to every farmer, regardless of budget or equipment age. VisionSteer and VisionPro align with this mission while setting a new standard for affordable, intelligent retrofit systems that grow with farmers’ needs. Because they rely on software-driven intelligence and updatable algorithms rather than hardware replacement cycles, FieldBee Vision systems are designed for long-term usability and continuous improvement.

It supports mixed-crop operations, including vineyards, orchards, and broadacre fields — giving farmers a flexible, scalable technology that adapts to their specific conditions. How it benefits the user: For the farmer, the benefits are immediate and measurable. VisionSteer reduces manual steering effort, enabling more accurate row following and lower operator fatigue. In challenging environments — hilly terrain, tree rows, or partial canopy — the system maintains precision and stability. VisionPro, meanwhile, helps farmers save inputs and increase profitability. By automatically adjusting fertiliser and pesticide rates in real time, it minimises waste, boosts yield uniformity, and supports sustainable farming practices. Together, these solutions enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and make advanced precision agriculture accessible to all. What makes it unique: FieldBee Vision is the first retrofit system to fuse RTK, vision, and AI technologies into one modular unit. While other systems rely solely on GNSS for steering or pre-mapped applications, FieldBee Vision’s camera-based fusion allows continuous operation even where GPS reception is weak. The integration of live vegetation analysis and automatic variable rate control within a retrofit solution is equally unprecedented — enabling real-time, data-driven decisions without the need for additional sensors or separate software. Its full ISOBUS compatibility further ensures seamless connection with implements and tractors from different manufacturers. Inspiration and development: The innovation was inspired by direct feedback from FieldBee’s community of farmers across Europe, who reported challenges maintaining steering accuracy in complex field environments and expressed the need for more accessible crop sensing solutions. FieldBee’s engineering team — led by Co-Founder and CTO Alexey Bogatyryov — collaborated with AI specialists and agronomy experts to develop VisionSteer and VisionPro. The result is a practical, future-ready tool that combines technological excellence with farmer-focused design. By bringing together camera vision, AI, and RTK precision, FieldBee Vision empowers farmers to achieve more — sustainably, efficiently, and affordably — setting a new benchmark for retrofit precision farming systems.

Product Website:
livestack.ca
Explain why this is an innovation:
Livestack unifies every data source a livestock operation already has: barn controllers, weigh scales, processor settlements, feed mill tickets and lab results, across poultry, swine, dairy and beef, securely in the cloud. We integrate scattered, siloed data through automatic pipelines, run analyses and visualization to turn it into useful and digestible intelligence, and provide these insights back to our partners and producers to help them optimize their operations through better decisions. The settlement, closeout and performance reports producers used to receive by hand weeks later are automatically delivered through the app or by email, opening up a new horizon for sustainable, efficient, and connected agriculture in Canada.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
Livestack gives producers and partners a live picture of every barn, and surfaces the important things actually worth acting on today so they can be proactive in management. We take the records an operation already produces, reconcile them where the sources disagree, and turn them into daily performance, economics, forecasts and reports delivered straight to the platform, the mobile app or an inbox. Better decisions, made sooner, from data already available combined with verified environmental and breed/nutrition data from ourselves and trusted sources in Canada.
Describe target market(s):
Livestock producers across Canada in poultry, swine, dairy and beef, along with the feed mills, nutritionists, consultants and processors who work alongside them. We are live today with operations in Ontario and the Prairies, and the platform is built so that a new client can be onboarded from anywhere at anytime.

Norway Pavillion | SoilMate Leveler™

Exhibiting Company Name
Norway Pavillion
Product or Service Description
Name of product or service:
SoilMate Leveler™
Product Website:
https://en.soilmate.no/leveler
Explain why this is an innovation:
SoilMate Leveler is a wireless, retrofit sensor system that measures an implement’s working angle in two axes and displays it live in the tractor cab. This system works between implements, tractors and brands: plow, chisel plow, cultivator, vertical tillage tool, planter or drill. Live two-axis level feedback has until now been available only as a factory-integrated feature on a limited number of premium implements. SoilMate Leveler brings that capability to the machines Canadian farmers already own, at a fraction of the cost of replacing an implement. Installation takes less than 30 minutes and requires no wiring between the tractor and the implement. The product has been in commercial sale in Norway since 2024, with +400 systems in the field, and is nominated for the Swedish Elmia Lantbruk Innovation Award 2026. Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show 2026 is its introduction to the Canadian market.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
SoilMate Leveler puts precise implement control at the operator’s fingertips from the tractor seat. An implement running out of level pulls harder than it has to — more draft, more fuel, more hours — and works at uneven depth. On a plow or chisel plow, a few degrees of tilt means the front running deeper than the other: uneven residue incorporation, uneven seedbed, uneven emergence. On a planter, it shows up as inconsistent seed depth across the toolbar. The system shows the working angle live and alerts the operator when it drifts, whether the cause is initial setup, hydraulics, a tire pressure difference or a mechanical fault. Setup takes minutes instead of guesswork with a spirit level and tape measure, and the operator knows immediately when something changes mid-field rather than finding out at emergence or when the during growth season. SoilMate Leveler™ optimize implement setup, reduce risk, save setup time and boost yield and profit for farmers using tractor and implements in the field.
Describe target market(s):
SoilMate Leveler™ targets all farmers using tractor & implements in their field production (such as plow, cultivator, planter and more – all the implements supposed to follow the surface).

Scitech Animal Health | Fresh Force

Exhibiting Company Name
Scitech Animal Health
Product or Service Description
Name of product or service:
Fresh Force
Product Website:
www.scitechanimalhealth.ca
Explain why this is an innovation:
Fresh Force represents a shift from conventional, single-purpose post-calving products to an integrated, physiology-based approach. Conventional calcium boluses primarily provide a rapid calcium input, while energy drenches address negative energy balance separately. Drenching requires appropriate equipment, animal restraint, and a trained or experienced worker; improper administration can result in liquid entering the lungs, potentially causing aspiration pneumonia or death. Fresh Force uniquely combines calcium support and glucogenic energy in one easy-to-administer capsule—a dual-action approach that is unique in the North American market. Many conventional calcium boluses rely on highly soluble calcium salts, particularly calcium chloride, to produce a rapid increase in circulating calcium. Although this may provide short-term support, a sharp increase in blood calcium may activate normal negative-feedback mechanisms, including reduced parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and increased calcitonin activity. This may temporarily counteract the calcium-mobilization pathways that negative-DCAD dry-cow programs are intended to prepare by improving tissue responsiveness to PTH. Fresh Force uses a less rapidly soluble calcium source than calcium chloride. Its formulation is therefore intended to make calcium available more progressively, without introducing a large quantity of highly soluble calcium over a short period. This approach is designed to complement the cow’s natural endocrine regulation of calcium while minimizing the gastrointestinal irritation and inflammatory burden associated with strongly acidifying calcium salts. Fresh Force also recognizes that calcium homeostasis is metabolically dependent. Intestinal calcium absorption, bone mobilization, and cellular calcium transport require adequate energy, independently of the role of energy deficiency in the development of ketosis. Therefore, supplying calcium without concurrently supporting energy metabolism may not fully address the physiological limitations affecting calcium regulation after calving. By combining calcium, approximately 300 kcal of glucogenic energy, magnesium, and vitamins D₃ and B₁₂ in one capsule, Fresh Force bridges the functional gap between conventional calcium boluses and standalone energy drenches. Beyond its unique concept of supplying glucogenic energy when it is most needed to support calcium regulation, Fresh Force simultaneously targets the two principal metabolic challenges following calving: hypocalcemia and ketosis. Hypocalcemia, ranging from subclinical cases to clinical milk fever, is associated with increased risks of retained placenta, displaced abomasum, mastitis, metritis, reduced feed intake, and impaired reproductive and productive performance. Fresh Force therefore offers producers a more comprehensive and practical approach to fresh-cow metabolic support than products addressing calcium or energy alone.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
Following calving, the onset of lactation creates an immediate and substantial increase in the cow’s requirements for calcium and metabolic energy. At the same time, postpartum stress, weakness, and reduced dry-matter intake can limit her ability to meet these demands through feed. This imbalance increases the risk of subclinical or clinical hypocalcemia, including milk fever, and excessive negative energy balance, which may progress to ketosis. These metabolic disorders are associated with an increased risk of retained placenta, displaced abomasum, metritis, mastitis, reduced appetite, impaired immune function, and delayed recovery. Their effects can extend well beyond the immediate fresh period, negatively affecting milk production during the first 100 days in milk, reproductive performance, conception, and overall herd longevity. Fresh Force is designed to provide integrated support during this critical period by delivering calcium and glucogenic energy in a single dose, together with magnesium and vitamins D₃ and B₁₂. It supports normal calcium and energy metabolism, appetite, immune function, and postpartum recovery, helping dairy and beef cows adapt more effectively to the physiological demands of calving and early lactation.

The Maize Runner
Product Website:
https://upsiderobotics.com/
Explain why this is an innovation:
The Maize Runner is the first farm-grade autonomous robotic system capable of precision nutrient application throughout the growing season. Unlike traditional heavy equipment which applies large amounts of fertilizer at the beginning of the season, the Maize Runner applies small doses of nutrients matched to crop demand in real time. Our lightweight robotic units virtually eliminate soil compaction and reduce agricultural GHG emissions through nitrogen reduction of up to 70%. Upside Robotics has developed proprietary AI-driven rate prescription algorithms that determine the amount and type of nutrients to apply based on multiple factors that can vary across fields, including soil structure, soil conditions, plant stress, and the growth stage of the crop. The small robots live in fields 24/7, recharging and refilling autonomously at solar-powered base stations and performing continuous crop monitoring with their on-board sensor array. Each season, the system synthesizes farm-specific crop, soil, weather, and yield data, improving algorithm performance year over year. The Maize Runner’s proprietary autonomous navigation technology enables driverless operation, day or night, supported by mechatronic hardware that is lightweight yet robust to rough and changeable farm terrain. The user dashboard provides unprecedented control over precision nutrient application, generating actionable insight into field variability and multiple factors influencing crop response.
Describe the purpose of this product or service:
The Maize Runner uses precision nutrient application technology to reduce input costs while boosting yields. Currently optimized for corn crops, Upside’s AI-driven rate prescription algorithms dynamically tune nutrient application to account for soil characteristics, weather, and crop response, so that plants receive optimal nutrition with minimal waste. Late-season field access enables the Maize Runner to deliver nutrients when crop demand is highest, capturing yield potential that would otherwise be lost as early-season nutrient applications are depleted. In addition to nitrogen, Upside’s Nutri-plus service includes precision application of phosphorus, potassium, and other micronutrients that can boost yields by 10-15%. Previous growing seasons have demonstrated increased profitability of ~$150/acre, and we anticipate further improvement in ROI as we dial in optimal application rates for a broad range of nutrients and incorporate additional capabilities for pesticide application and weeding.
Describe target market(s):
