Together they have invited the top 100 tomato growers in the world to meet in Berlin, an invitation that resulted in the registration of 80 companies. Over 200 people have now signed up for the event, including growers, speakers, sponsors and the media.
The theme for this year is; ‘Crop & Process technology’. The winner will need to show a clear lead over the other nominees when it comes to this particular business aspect. The selection will be made by an external panel of experts from various countries.
The tomato is the most important greenhouse crop in the world. In this sector, supply chain, innovation and entrepreneurship go hand in hand at a high level. The Tomato Inspiration Event brings together the world’s top performers from the production and supply sector for two purposes. Firstly, to provide a platform where CEO’s from prominent companies can meet and inspire each other and raise the sector to an even higher level. Trendwatchers Richard and Lieke Lamb, and busines strategist, Gunter Pauli, provide sufficient food for thought on this subject. And, secondly, to be present in Berlin to find out if they belong to the top 5 in the world. The full list of participants is available on www.TomatoEvent.com/participants.
The Tomato Inspiration Event will be held on Thursday, 5 February 2015, at the Ellington Hotel in Berlin; in the same week in which the trade fair ‘Fruit Logistica’ takes place. The full list is available on www.TomatoEvent.com/event.
