Mariska Dreschler, Director Horticulture – GreenTech Global: “GreenTech is created as the home base for the worldwide horticulture community. Visionary minds and groundbreaking technologies that will shape the future of sustainable food production, came together. Yes, we have grown in terms of visitors (11,500) and exhibitors (540). But even more important, also in quality, due to the visitor pricing strategy we adjusted to set a threshold.
