GreenTech Americas has announced that its fifth edition is set to take place from 25-27 March at the Querétaro Centro de Congresos in Mexico. This edition promises to be the largest yet, with an expected attendance of 3,700 visitors and 223 exhibitors.
On the exhibition floor, visitors will find the latest solutions for cultivating high-quality crops, achieving energy and water efficiency and more. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER), protected agriculture maintains a steady growth with more than 3.5 million tons of vegetables being grown on more than 27,951 hectares. Protected agriculture also plays an important social role in fostering shared prosperity.
On Tuesday, 25 March, the event starts with an opening ceremony followed by a networking break, setting the stage for three days of insights and exhibitions. Attendees can look forward to a series of sessions and strategic conferences covering a wide range of topics, such as the impact of climate change on protected agriculture, inspiring female role models for future generations, and the benefits of artificial intelligence in greenhouses. On Wednesday, 26 March, the 'Power Day' will focus on the theme 'Passion for people or just profit?' with presentations and moderated discussions led by industry leaders.
