Following the success of its first edition last year, the Leafy Hydroponics Summit (LHS) is set to return on June 16-17, 2025, in the Netherlands. Organized by Cultivators, this exclusive event will once bring together key players in the hydroponic leafy greens sector to share knowledge, explore cutting-edge innovations, and strengthen professional networks.
A Platform for Growth and Collaboration
The LHS was launched in 2024 as an international two-day event for industry leaders, researchers, and innovators in the hydroponic leafy greens sector. Last year’s summit covered essential topics such as financing hydroponic operations, preventing tipburn in lettuce production, dynamic LED lighting strategies, and automation in controlled environment agriculture. Participants also engaged in interesting field visits to leading companies and research institutions, gaining hands-on insights into the latest advancements. Participants used their time for networking while enjoying lunch and dinner with industry leaders and their peers.
Building on this strong foundation, the 2025 edition promises to further explore the technological, agronomic, and business aspects of hydroponic leafy greens. The event will feature in-depth presentations, expert-led discussions, and exclusive networking opportunities. As in the previous year, the second day of the event will be a field trip. Then we will visit the locations of two of the partners, who will share about their recent innovations and research, among others.
