International Growth Event: A full house. A shared urgency. A clear ambition.

On March the 5th, The International Growth Event brought together an impressive number of companies, partners and stakeholders from across the Dutch horticultural ecosystem.

The strong turnout confirms what we feel across the sector:
international growth is not optional. It requires strategy, collaboration and sharp choices.

Together, we explored:
• The geopolitical and economic shifts shaping global markets
• The move from individual export to integrated propositions
• The importance of ecosystem thinking in international projects

One thing became clear: sustainable international impact is organised.
It is built on cooperation, trust and long-term commitment.

As several speakers emphasised during the event:

“The World is changing, whether you like it or not. So adapt” – Rob de Wijk

“If you are in control, you are not moving fast enough. – Guus van Roessel

“Do it together. Don’t think you can do it alone.” – Dirk Deichmann

As association for the Dutch greenhouse construction and installation sector, AVAG represents the collective strength and expertise of its members, nationally and internationally.

For the international positioning and execution of joint initiatives, AVAG works closely with Dutch Greenhouse Delta (DGD) as its strategic and operational partner. DGD connects companies, knowledge institutes and governments and organises integrated international propositions around strategic markets and country programmes.

The dialogue continues.
