Seed meets Technology

Seed meets Technology is all about innovative (seed) technology, range of varieties, processing and SmT is the event for anyone interested in seed technology.

This event is all about sharing knowledge and discovering new techniques, products and machines for improving and processing seeds and plants. In the entire seed world will come together in the center of Seed Valley. See working machines by the most innovative companies, gather knowledge, see varieties, attend lectures and last but not least connect with like-minded organizations in the horticultural industry. Meet our participants in week 39 in Zwaagdijk - The Netherlands

The first symposium alert, AI in seeds!🔬
Tuesday, September 22 | 13:30-15:00 | 📍Arena

🌱Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the seed sector, creating new opportunities in research, breeding, and decision-making while raising important questions about its practical potential and limitations.
But how far can we actually go with AI? What opportunities are realistic, what challenges do we need to overcome, and where do the limitations lie?
👉🏼 In this symposium, moderated by Renake Teixeira (Hazera), speakers Gabriël van der Kruijk (Hoogendoorn / Let’sGrow.com) and Geo Velikkakam James (Rijk Zwaan Breeding BV) will explore both the opportunities and challenges of AI. The symposium will conclude with a joint discussion and questions from the audience.
We expect this to be an inspiring and interactive symposium on a highly relevant topic for the future of the seed industry. 📲 Please register now, This program item has a limited number of seats. https://seedmeetstechnology.com/symposium-ai-in-seeds-2/

🚀 Discover Videometer at SmT 2026 on Wednesday at Pitch Point 1!
Videometer is a Copenhagen-based spectral imaging company that helps the seed industry see beyond the visible: analyzing quality, purity, and composition across multiple wavelengths of light. Our instruments combine advanced optics with AI and machine learning to deliver fast, non-destructive analysis for both R&D labs and in-line production.

🌱At our lecture on Tuesday at Seed meets Technology, visitors will discover how spectral imaging goes far beyond conventional RGB cameras, capturing chemical and morphological differences across multiple wavelengths to assess traits like germination potential, vigor, disease infection, and varietal purity. We'll show how our technology combines advanced machine learning with non-destructive analysis to deliver fast, reproducible, and operator-independent seed quality measurements. This is a great opportunity to see how spectral imaging can streamline and standardize your seed testing workflows. 📲https://seedmeetstechnology.com/lecture-videometer/

Join Bas van Eerdt, CEO of , for the lecture “Product introduction: unlocking environmental diversity for seed research and testing”
📅 Wednesday, September 23
⏰ 10:00 – 10:45
📍 Cabbage Room
💬 Bas van Eerdt

🌱Seed companies increasingly need to evaluate germination and vigour across a wider range of environmental conditions, from optimal settings to realistic stress scenarios. More diverse controlled environment experiments are essential for gaining deeper insights into seed performance and developing more robust predictive models for breeding, quality assurance, and seed technology.
🙌🏼 In this session, Certhon and PhenoKey will introduce a new product that rethinks controlled environment infrastructure from the ground up. Instead of further optimizing the traditional climate chamber concept, this adaptive platform enables a broader range of environmental trials while improving efficiency, scalability, and readiness for automated research workflows.
The product and the design philosophy behind it will be presented publicly for the first time during this lecture.

💬 Ulrike Wefers

Seed disinfestation methods are an important processing step managing seed health.
In 2025, in our Volume 1 presentation, we introduced the “steam treatment technology” as a method for seed disinfection as a chemical-free alternative with the focus on onions.
In Volume 2, we will present results from various field reports and lab studies across a broad spectrum of crops and pathogens. Insides will be given into our R&D project with the focus on increased throughputs and sustainability of the technology.
