Again 16 top managers to the Netherlands
Added on 30 October 2023
The Mastercourse Floriculture is powered by Jungle Talks in close cooperation with leading providers of knowledge and technology from the Netherlands. ‘We’ve seen that when we picked up our Mastercourse Floriculture after Covid-19, but also because of the state of the world today, there’s a demand to meet with peers from around the world and exchange thoughts on the current challenges’ says organizer Ed Smit. ‘In addition, values, your so-called ‘license to produce’ is a topic that is on everyone’s list, no matter if you are working in flowers and plants in the Netherlands, Brazil or Canada.
This edition’s participants come from Canada, Guatemala, Colombia, China, Kenya, Taiwan, Turkiye, Portugal, Poland, Belgium and the Netherlands. This diverse group is once again a good reflection of the worldwide floricultural sector, both in terms of geography and product differentiation. ‘Our participants are active in the production of cut flowers, green and flowering plants, Phalaenopsis, bedding plants as well as outdoor plants and trees.’
Partners
During two intensive weeks in the Netherlands and Germany, the selected participants are immersed in a wealth of horticultural knowledge and experience. Koppert Biological Systems, Ridder, Hortilux Schrèder, Logiqs, Viscon, Dümmen Orange, Floramedia, Letsgrow, Klasmann-Deilmann and Van Krimpen are partners of the Pro Manager Mastercourse. The participants will be received by members of the board of directors at each of the forementioned companies.
Cooperating companies’ directors are receiving the participants and will discuss merely strategy and vision. These strategic insights provide the participants with a final encouragement in their development towards the steps to be taken in their own company to take over the lead. After two weeks of meetings with Dutch floricultural leaders, complemented by inspirational sessions and interactive meetings and workshops, the participants will be asked to pitch their personal vision on the future of the international floricultural sector and the role of their company in it.
Last but not least, Jungle Talks continues its cooperation with AIPH on organizing the ‘Young International Grower of the Year Award’. One of the selected participants to this Pro Manager Mastercourse will receive this award during the AIPH gala evening taking place during the IPM Essen.
“We are very proud these leading companies and organizations work together to support and inspire this international group,’ says co-organizer Renee Snijders. “Jungle Talks will maintain and foster the contacts between participants, partners and supporters after the Pro Manager Mastercourse, in order to make sure that all parties will make the most of this valuable cooperation. That is why we’re also planning the first Mastercourse Alumni Meet Up in Brazil. We’re very excited about it and look forward to offer an engaging 5-day program in and around Holambra from 11-16 August 2024 in close cooperation with our former participants.”
