Since 2007, Grodan has invited crop consultants, scientists, partners, and other stakeholders from all over the world to meet at the Green Expert Platform. This fruitful platform is a true knowledge exchange forum, where Grodan tests and challenges industries’ believes and opinions.
Grodan hosted the Green Expert Platform in and around Delft on June 14th, 2022. Following a two-year pause due to the covid situation, the Green Expert Platform reunited horticulture experts, crop consultants, and researchers to discuss the potential of new technologies and innovations in the industry.
The goal of this event is to exchange knowledge and challenge key horticultural companies to discuss how to make efficient, high-tech greenhouse production a reality. The challenges that growers face are numerous; the purpose of all these stakeholders is to join forces and find solutions to these challenges.
“It was exciting to be a part of an event that brought together experts from all around the world to discuss the future of horticulture by sharing their challenges and suggesting solutions. It is an inspirational event that can only promise a lot for the horticultural sector.”
Emmanouela Alexopoulou, Technical Communications Manager at Grodan.
