Europatat Congress 2026

The Europatat Congress 2026 will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on the 3rd and 4th of June 2026. This flagship annual event will once again gather the European potato community, bringing together seed and ware potato producers, traders, packers, processors, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders from across the supply chain.

As the leading forum for dialogue and collaboration in the potato sector, the Congress offers a unique platform to exchange knowledge, share insights on market trends, and explore new opportunities for growth. It will address key challenges facing the industry, such as adapting to climate change, navigating evolving EU regulations, meeting consumer expectations for sustainability and health, and responding to global market dynamics. 

The programme is expected to include inspiring keynote speeches, expert panels, and technical sessions that cover innovation, sustainability, and regulatory developments. In addition, dedicated meetings of Europatat’s commissions will provide space for more in-depth discussions on seed potatoes, ware potatoes, technical and regulatory affairs, sustainability, and RUCIP arbitration. 

Beyond the formal sessions, the Congress will also serve as an important networking hub, allowing participants to build new business relationships, strengthen partnerships, and connect with policymakers at the heart of the European Union. 

By fostering collaboration and forward-thinking dialogue, the Europatat Congress 2026 will continue to shape the future of the potato trade in Europe and beyond, ensuring the sector remains resilient, innovative, and competitive.
