GreenTech Americas Rescheduled for August

GreenTech Americas, which was scheduled to take place in Mexico March 24-26, has been moved to Aug. 25-27 due to the global spread of COVID-19. RAI Amsterdam and Tarsus, as organizers of the event, have complied with the wishes of both exhibitors and visitors to reschedule the event. Due to the coronavirus, many travelers are confronted with travel restrictions and other measures put in place. To maintain the international reach and quality of the event, a new date has been set.

GreenTech Americas will be the first regional event in Mexico of GreenTech, the international meeting place for horticultural technology. Half of the exhibitors are international, and visitors originate from all over the world. The international character of the event is significantly impacted by the measures taken to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The top three exhibiting countries outside Mexico are the U.S., Spain, and the Netherlands. In these and other countries, measures have been put in place that influence exhibitors’ and visitors’ ability to attend.

“By moving the exhibition to August, we aim to offer our exhibitors the best possible time slot to present their innovations to a global audience and to initiate business,” said Mariska Dreschler, Director Horticulture-GreenTech. “In view of the global economic challenges triggered by the coronavirus in the first half of the year, moving the show to August offers great opportunities. Horticulture is important for the global food supplies, as sustainable cultivation is a necessity. Even in these challenging times, we need expert views and discussions on how the world’s horticulture industries can be optimized.”
