Where the Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector comes together
The Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector is one to be proud of: high-tech, entrepreneurial and a global leader. At the same time, the sector is undergoing rapid change. Issues relating to energy, labour, digitalisation, robotisation, plant health, cultivation techniques, sustainability and market developments call for smart choices and strong collaboration within the supply chain.
HortiContact is the annual gathering where growers, nursery operators, suppliers, knowledge partners, innovators and young professionals come together. During the two-day trade fair, you’ll meet industry peers, share experiences and look ahead together to the future of greenhouse horticulture.
With ‘Taking Control of your Business’, the trade fair focuses on the themes that directly impact your business. On the exhibition floor, you’ll discover a wide range of exhibitors, practical solutions and up-to-date insights. In knowledge sessions, in the exhibition areas and in meeting zones, knowledge, innovation and networking come together naturally.

Labour & Human Resources
Labour and staffing are key issues in the greenhouse horticulture sector. From recruiting and retaining staff to organising the workplace more efficiently, business owners are seeking solutions that keep their businesses agile. Practical knowledge, labour-saving techniques and new ways of working together help growers and nursery owners maintain control over their operations.
Robotisation
Robotisation helps growers and nursery owners to organise processes in the greenhouse in a smarter and more efficient way. From harvesting and sorting to crop monitoring and logistics: technological applications help to reduce labour requirements, ensure consistent quality and improve processes. HortiContact brings together innovations and practical experience to help you make the right choices.
Plant health
A healthy crop is the foundation for strong cultivation and sustainable yields. Developments in resilience, crop protection, monitoring and integrated cultivation help growers and nursery operators to identify risks in good time and take targeted action. Up-to-date knowledge and practical solutions provide control over plant health in the greenhouse.
Sustainability
Sustainable business practices affect every aspect of greenhouse horticulture: from energy and water use to circularity, cultivation and operational management. The sector is constantly working on solutions that contribute to a future-proof business. HortiContact offers inspiration, knowledge and innovations to help put sustainable choices into practice.
Innovations that drive greenhouse horticulture forward
During HortiContact, innovations that help growers and nursery owners move forward receive plenty of attention. The HortiContact Innovation Awards put the spotlight on innovative, implemented solutions from exhibitors. Innovations are judged in two categories: Smart Cultivation & Technology and Growth & Circular Impact.
The nominees will be announced in the run-up to HortiContact 2027. From then on, you can vote for your favourite innovation via the website. You can also cast your vote during the event itself. You can discover all the nominated innovations on the revamped exhibition floor, in the Innovation Zone.
