-Press Release- Tomatoworld and Wold Horti Center join forces

Naaldwijk, 14 December 2018

Tomatoworld and World Horti Center will join forces with the aim of putting the horticultural sector even better on the map nationally and internationally. The cooperation will be operational by jointly welcoming visitors, organising events and training courses. The two parties signed a letter of intent to this effect yesterday.

They also see bringing horticultural partners together as a joint activity. An integration of both organisations is the ultimate goal. The world of greenhouse horticulture is more international than ever and the Netherlands has a leading position in it. Continuous and accelerated innovation and cooperation is vital to maintain this leading position of the Netherlands in the world.

Tomatoworld and World Horti Center play an important role in this by propagating solutions that their partners and participants offer for people's well-being and wellbeing. Together with these partners, they offer solutions to major social issues, such as food supply, wellbeing and sustainability.
