Robotics , AI , glasshouse , energy solutions , cleanup tool , plastic - free cultivation equipment , java , drinks , and gossip . It ’s all present at GreenTech 2023 , currently taking station in RAI Amsterdam .
After some ( partly ) online editions during the pandemic , the exhibition pull in over 350 exhibitors last year . This year , another 200 companies resolve to come to Amsterdam . Parth of this emergence is thanks to the Asian , and more specifically the 50 + Chinese suppliers , which were unable to travel last twelvemonth , and thanks to several young players in the field . The GreenTech , therefore , consists of 4 Charles Francis Hall this year , and preparing your visit digitally or download the app is advised as there ’s no paper function useable on the show .
The first 24-hour interval had a good start , although supplier in the back of the halls did cite it took some clip for visitor to get through their part of the expo . Traditionally the second day is the most crowded , so our anticipation were high this morning as well . Many companies emcee drinks by the end of the day , for what they are admit to remain in the RAI after the tradeshow closes at 6 phase modulation .
The atmosphere on the show was salutary , but companies are open to having run intemperate times . The energy crisis , the gamey raw fabric prices , the struggle in transport , and , comparatively new , the increased pastime rates have affected both growers and suppliers , and specially from the erect farming industry , alarming sounds are heard as cultivator have been adjudge bankrupt or are badly reorganizing , and fresh projects are put on hold or have been canceled . The toll increases seem to have stabilized , but the tautness remains real .
Also remarkable is how quite a few former Dutch cultivator were present to host the growers they ’re currently influence with . From China , Turkmenistan , and Kazakhstan – in addition to being a craw consultants , they also prove to be valuable as Dutch hosts or change of location agencies .
