“With the choice of water as the theme of the congress and the trade fair, we are demonstrating the role that international horticulture can play and wants to play in this worldwide issue,” says Frans-Peter Dechering, director of the Horti Fair. “And it interfaces with the International Water Week, which is also being held in Amsterdam during the International HortiWeek in the first week of November.’’

Through this congress, the Horti Fair and its organizing partners Rijk Zwaan, Flynth adviseurs & accountants, Wageningen University and Cultilene are creating an extra option for leading entrepreneurs, CEOs, CTOs, scientists, policymakers, politicians, NGOs and government representatives to exchange knowledge about water as a world food issue.

Tickets cost € 295 (excl. VAT). There is a special arrangement for participants at the trade fair and their guests, and registrations can be submitted via www.hortifair.nl.
