Today marked the final day of yet another inspiring week 24! ๐ฑ
World Horti Center has been buzzing all week, with hundreds of visitors from more than 40 countries. They let themselves be inspired by the strength of the Dutch horticulture industry, discovered the impact of controlled environment agriculture and learned more about urgent topics like water, energy and robotics. ๐คฉ
We wrapped of this week with some final guided tours:
๐ Hans Ligtenberg guided a group of young farmers from the Republic of Korea, they were eager to learn more about smart farming. ๐ฐ๐ท
๐ Lenny Dijkshoorn welcomed new members of the LVVN Attachรฉ Netwerk and introduced them to the Dutch horticulture sector with a brief presentation. The session was joined by Mirjam Boekestijn and Frederik Vossenaar (Dutch Greenhouse Delta), Ivo Meijer (Gemeente Westland) and our CEO Puck van Holsteijn.
๐ Piet Smal afterwards took them on a tour through our knowledge and innovation center.๐ฟ
One of the highlights we look back on with a smile this week was a special lunch with Sung Kyeom Kim, CEO of World Horti Center Korea, and his delegation. Puck van Holsteijn and Lenny Dijkshoorn welcomed the group for lunch in one of the beautiful grape greenhouses of the Westlands Museum. A unique setting to strengthen international connections and exchange innovative ideas. ๐๐ค
As this remarkable week comes to an end, we would like to thank everyone who visited World Horti Center. Have a safe journey home and we hope to welcome you again soon! ๐
