World's Leading Fair Presents Current Trends and Excellent Info Programme
From January 24 to 27, 2017, the international green sector will be guests at Messe Essen. At IPM ESSEN, horticulture will find not only innovative technology, soils and substrates for efficient production but also the unique possibilities of establishing important contacts to market-leading plant breeders from all continents as well as marketing organizations and placing orders centrally in one place.
The world's leading fair will portray the entire value added the chain of plant production: Around 1,600 exhibitors from 50 countries will show their new products in the Plants, Technology, Floristry and Garden Features areas. As a supplement to the extensive range available from the exhibitors, IPM ESSEN will offer a high-quality supporting program such as the International Horticulture Forum with the Netherlands as the partner country and the teaching show entitled "LED, Iodine, Plasma, … - Cultivation Control Today".
With its diverse range on offer, the world's leading fair for horticulture will be fair for all gardeners and nurserymen. Not only the main focal points of ornamental plant cultivation and nurseries but also vegetable and soft fruit cultivation will be in the best possible hands at IPM ESSEN. Halls 3 and 7 will accommodate the necessary technology - innovative, efficient and on the highest level: from greenhouse construction via greenhouses made of plastic film and their interior fittings as well as illumination, air conditioning, and irrigation systems right up to husbandry machines, weather protection and insect-repelling nets for outdoor beds. Furthermore, the trade visitors will be able to obtain information about substrate mixtures, soil conditioners as well as fertilizers and plant fortifiers and to receive competent advice. For the elimination of weeds in biological cultivation, the exhibitors will have corresponding devices or environmentally friendly beneficial organisms in stock. Young plant and herb producers will profit from a large number and wide diversity of breeding and marketing tray suppliers.
Wide Range of Plants On Offer
59 percent of the exhibitors will belong to the Plants exhibition area. At no other fair do the visitors find such an extensive range on offer: Plant breeders from all continents will introduce their new creations here: from bedding, balcony, and vegetable plants via nursery goods, Mediterranean growths and herbs right up to house plants and cut flowers. Producing horticulture will be offered an international platform for obtaining information, exchanging specialist ideas and placing orders. It will be possible to find the Plants area not only in Halls 1 and 2, the Galeria as well as Halls 5, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 but also in the temporary Halls 13 and 14 and in the foyer of the Grugahalle. The Innovation Showcase in Hall 1A will be a must in order to keep an eye on the trends of the coming season. An expert jury and, in addition, the trade visitors themselves will choose the best new breeds of the IPM exhibitors.
Meeting Place for International Decision Takers
The marketing of the finished goods plays just as important a role as technology and the choice of the correct variety. IPM ESSEN will be a high-quality trade fair in order to come into contact with all the international decision-takers in the sector. The BGI Trade Center in Hall 1 will be a good place for networking in 2017, too. Services rendered by the wholesale trade will be presented in the area of the Association of the German Flower Wholesale and Import Trade (BGI). In addition, all the marketers with worldwide activities will be represented at the fair, including Landgard, Royal Flora Holland, Flora Dania, GASA and Veiling Rhein-Maas.
International Horticulture Forum
The Kingdom of the Netherlands will be the partner country of the International Horticulture Forum on January 26, 2017. In cooperation with the Representation of interests of the German horticulture industry (INDEGA) and the Eugen Ulmer Publishing House, experts will provide information about the chances and challenges of horticulture in our neighboring country.
Horticulture Info Center in the Green City
At IPM ESSEN 2017, the Central Horticultural Association (ZVG), ideal sponsor of IPM ESSEN, as well as the co-organiser the North Rhine-Westphalia State Horticultural Association will once again present their comprehensive spectrum of services in the Horticulture Info Center in the Green City in Hall 1A and will be available to answer the questions of the member companies. Not only the professional associations but also institutions from the fields of advice, science, and research, as well as training and ongoing education, will be represented.
Advantages Resulting from a Knowledge Lead: Teaching Show
The teaching show which will be characterized by cultivation control in ornamental plant cultivation will certainly be a hotspot of the Horticulture Info Center once again. Under the motto of "LED, Iodine, Plasma, … - Cultivation Control Today", research establishments from all over Germany will present their latest results about the main focal points of light and growth regulation. IPM ESSEN will thus permit easy access to the newest scientific findings which gardeners can use for their own plant production.
Furthermore, the "hortigate" info system in the Horticulture Info Center will show the new "MyBusiness" module which ornamental plant cultivation businesses can use in order to plan their plant protection measures and to document them in conformity with GlobalGAP.
Especially for Nurseries: European Nursery Reception
For the fourth time already, the European Nursery Reception will take place in close partnership between the Federation of German Nurseries (BdB) and the European Nurserystock Association (ENA). In a relaxed atmosphere, it will be possible to establish new contacts and consolidate existing contacts on the BdB booth in Hall 11 at 5.30 p.m. on January 25.
