Discover the Power of Plants theme square, focused on the natural strength of plants. This square offers a fresh perspective on horticulture: moving away from mass production, towards sustainability and an optimal growing environment. Innovative sensor technologies and nature-based solutions are used to monitor plant needs in real-time.

Our theme square provides a platform where innovative technologies and solutions come together. They help growers cultivate healthier crops, close loops, and minimize ecological impact. The square is a joint initiative by leading companies in the horticultural sector. These organizations are at the forefront of plant-centric thinking, developing products and technologies that help growers better understand and respond to the needs of their crops:

• Skytree captures CO₂ directly from the air, giving growers constant access to a natural, local source of carbon dioxide tailored to the plant’s needs;
• Hoogendoorn Growth Management uses advanced automation and Plant Empowerment to adjust the greenhouse climate to what the plant needs at any given moment;
• com provides data-driven insights that enable real-time adjustments based on signals from the plants;
• RED Horticulture applies intelligent lighting systems tailored to the plant’s physiological needs, delivering the right spectrum and intensity of light;
• Koppert supports plants with natural solutions such as beneficial insects and microbial products that enhance plant health above and below ground, based on the plant’s specific needs;
• Van Iperen International offers circular fertilizers and biostimulants that naturally nourish and strengthen plants, with minimal environmental impact.

These techniques are integrated at our theme square to bring a lush piece of nature to life in an unexpected location: in the middle of a closed space with no daylight. Power of Plants highlights that success in horticulture is not just about mechanical techniques, but, at its core, about creating an environment where plants are “happy” and can thrive optimally. Experience how this approach lays the foundation for circular and future-proof cultivation.
