« I am aware of the responsibility that falls upon me, to follow in the footsteps of my predecessors who created this unmissable event, nearly 40 years ago, in the heart of our great agricultural region of the Grand West. SPACE has become the jewel of innovation in the service of livestock farming, both present and future. Everyone converges here and seeks suitable, inspiring solutions for all sectors. In the face of social, environmental and climate challenges, but also because of the fundamental role of food and agriculture in every country, I wish SPACE to remain a world reference in solutions tailored to the needs of farmers and businesses in the agricultural sector ».
