Van der Hoeven Horticultural Projects and Hoogendoorn organize French study trip

On June 9, 2015 the first-ever international Summit on horticulture technology took place in Amsterdam RAI Convention Centre. The goal of this conference was to inspire delegates from the horticulture industry on future sustainable technology. As a follow-up Van der Hoeven and Hoogendoorn combined strengths and organized a study trip to France for special delegates. During this two day trip the latest technological developments have been demonstrated in practice at several state-of-the art greenhouses.

Knowledge exchange

The excursion was set up by both parties to exchange knowledge with professionals on horticultural trends and developments. Guided tours were organized at several types of greenhouses, such as semi-closed and solar powered greenhouses, to educate invitees on the latest greenhouse techniques. All the high-tech greenhouses that were visited were built by Van der Hoeven and automated by Hoogendoorn.
