GreenTech Amsterdam is ready to bring the horticulture industry back together again from 14 to 16 June at RAI Amsterdam. At this 5th edition, the common thread of the programme will be ‘Happy Food Healthy Flowers’ with more than 100 knowledge sessions at 4 stages; the Vision-, Crops-, Technology- and Vertical & Indoor Farming & Medicinal Cannabis Theatre.
Sneak peek programme
The knowledge programme contributes to the global health trend which is of even bigger importance after the pandemic. That’s why ‘Happy Food Healthy Flowers’ is again the common thread and will be the main theme at the Vision Theatre. At the Crops Theatre tips and tricks but also trends in the field of vegetables, soft fruits, flowers, herbs and new crops will be discussed.
Everything horticultural professionals want to know about water, energy and automation solutions they can find at the Technology Theatre. Last but not least at the Vertical & Indoor Farming & Medicinal Cannabis Theatre the latest trends and developments in these segments will be addressed.
