The Innovation Center Horticulture Technology in Hall 4 is a forum where trade visitors can expand their knowledge about current and future-oriented technology topics such as sustainability, gate reduction, automation and energy. The forum will be accompanied by an exciting supporting programme.
The specialist programme is designed with innovative approaches to solutions for potential challenges within the industry and presents products and projects that aim to improve the future of horticultural technology in a sustainable and future-oriented way.
The exhibition area is extended by guided tours that start several times a day and offer insights into future-oriented technology trends. The starting point for the tours is the Innovation Center Horticultural Technology.
