GreenTech kicked off today in Amsterdam, with news for the cannabis industry
The most important horticultural exhibition in the Netherlands, the Green Tech, started today at the Amsterdam RAI and runs until Thursday, June 15th. This is one of the most important European horticultural technology events and brings together industry professionals from all over the world to network, share knowledge and do business. Cannabis assumes an increasingly prominent place at this event, with several companies presenting solutions for this industry.
At this fair, which includes more than 500 stands of participating companies, the approximately 14.500 visitors can obtain an overview of the products and services of the main horticultural companies and the latest innovations at an international level, without forgetting the companies dedicated to the cultivation of cannabis , a growing sector in Europe.
Highlight for the Fluence, which announced this week in Press release, the launch of the range VYPR, a high performance linear overhead light for greenhouse growing. The new range, as well as others already used for cannabis, will be available for public viewing and demonstration at Fluence stand 130 in Exhibit Hall 5 of the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre.
With keynotes and discussions from industry leaders, innovators and experts, GreenTech is the place to discover new products, services and complete solutions that will address the horticultural challenges of today and tomorrow. GreenTech highlights topics such as medical cannabis, robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in greenhouses, precision horticulture, organic, organic and vertical farming, climate control, water solutions, energy and much more.
Much more than just an exhibition of the main companies, GreenTech is committed to new ways of sharing knowledge and best practices for the sector.
