Experts provide valuable impulses for business in Speakers' Corner
The IPM Discovery Center at IPM ESSEN offers inspiration for the green sector. Innovative products and ideas that inspire customers at the point of sale are the focal points here. Green stylist Romeo Sommers is designing this area in exhibition hall 7 and this year is focusing on the green future.
"More and more people will be living in cities, so it's important to make these places comfortable and healthy," Sommers gives an initial outlook. "At the IPM Discovery Center, I want to show what plants can do for this: They make drought and heat more bearable, protect against heavy rain and make an important contribution to clean air and our health." Romeo Sommers sees a trend toward local production in the city. He will map that in the IPM Discovery Center, as well as the mega-topics of recycling and the circular economy.
