Amsterdam, 4 October 2021 – GreenTech Live&Online, the first show since the pandemic, has closed with great success. 7,500 horticulture related professionals from 140 countries registered for the in person show and/or the virtual platform. This resulted in 4,200 visitors from 60 countries at the RAI Amsterdam. The 3 days (28 – 30 September) were all about reconnecting the industry, knowledge sharing and innovations.

The top 5 countries represented were Germany, Belgium, United States, France and the Netherlands. The international atmosphere was reflected by the attendance of visitors from 60 countries.

Mariska Dreschler – Director Horticulture - GreenTech: “I have never seen so many happy faces at a show floor because we could finally meet each other again in person. This special edition of GreenTech was a great success in terms of reconnecting, high quality of speakers, the presence of international market leaders and innovators but also the positive vibe at the show floor. The perfect step up towards GreenTech in 2022!”.
