Innovation Path

Demo Forest presents an Innovation Trail showcasing a selection of innovations developed by the organisation with the support of the French FCBA BA Technical Institute.

For the 2026 edition, 9 pieces of equipment have been selected. All these pieces of equipment will be on display during the two-day event; they can be identified by an information board at each stand and will be presented individually as part of a guided tour.
