IPM Essen’s new Young Plant Forum brings together young plant growers, researchers and business leaders for four days of presentations, case studies, workhops and networking.
IPM Essen today unveiled its plans to host a Young Plant Forum in Hall 2, which, true to tradition, is the show’s beating heart of the global young plant business.
The inaugural Young Plant Forum aims to be a platform for exchanging business ideas and research findings between 28 to 31 January 2025. It offers space for keynote speeches, panel discussions, networking opportunities, giving attendees valuable insights into the key issues affect the young plant business
“IPM Essen likes to offer a meeting place in the centre of the young plant area where current topics and solutions can be discussed with experts and producers, as well as knowledge and know-how passed on,” explains IPM project manager Andrea Hölker. “In this way, we are promoting targeted industry dialogue for green professionals in order to tackle the challenges of the future. At the same time, exhibiting companies can actively contribute their own ideas and strengthen their network.“
The educational programme is currently being developed in close cooperation with the industry. Possible topics include innovations, sustainability, niche production, automation processes, energy and crop protection.
The stand area is also the starting point for guided tours of growers and young plant companies. Simultaneous translation will be provided for non-German-speaking trade fair visitors.
It is safe to say that show organiser Messe Essen’s efforts to breathe new life into the show’s young plant section will be warmly welcomed by exhibitors and attendees. Over the past few years, Hall 2 has seen a dwindling number of participating companies mostly due the fierce competition from FlowerTrials, the annual pre summer showcase for the global bedding plant industry.
