What can you already do today with the data and infrastructure of tomorrow

How can you use data and technology to grow smarter, work more efficiently and prepare your business for the future? During this Demo Day you will see what is already possible in greenhouse horticulture when working with digital twins, AI, sensors and a shared infrastructure. You will explore concrete applications, hear from experts about what works and what does not, and discover how your role as grower or as developer, researcher or policymaker can determine the next step towards handsfree growing.

Program Demo Day Data and Infrastructure

  • To discover the latest applications in the greenhouse
    Throughout the day you can visit showcases where technology comes to life. Think dashboards, interactive demos, videos and explanations of ongoing product development within UC19. You will see how data, digital twins and robotics come together in solutions you can directly translate to your own practice.

  • Get briefed by experts on data and technology in action
    At scheduled times we will take you through the Data Lab, the Digital Twin and a live set-up in the greenhouse. You will see how systems work together, which data is collected and how this leads to better decisions. Expect a mix of explanation, demonstration and room for questions.

  • Join short expert sessions
    In addition to the showcases and tours there are a few one-time sessions where experts will share their work and insights.

    • The official opening of the Digital Twin.

    • A look at how applied mathematics influences cultivation decisions.

    • How Erasmus is working on the Immersive Twin and the results it delivers.

    • An honest session on robotics and AI with growers and tech developers, openly discussing doubts and barriers.

Why attend the Demo Day Data and Infrastructure?

You will not only see where the sector stands technologically, but also what this means for your role. Whether you are looking for smart applications for your greenhouse, insight into the infrastructure behind digital twins, or the biggest opportunities in data, this day will show you. Everything takes place in a practical setting with tangible examples. You will meet peers, experts and project partners and discover how your organisation can contribute to the next step. Not as a spectator, but as a co-developer in an ecosystem focused on scalable solutions and impactful collaboration.

Who should attend the Demo Day Data and Infrastructure?

This day is relevant for anyone working on innovation in or around greenhouse horticulture. If you are involved in cultivation, technology, policy or research, you will find knowledge, examples and contacts to help you move forward.

  • Cultivation managers and business leaders aiming to optimise processes.

  • Data specialists and developers of AI, sensors or digital twins.

  • R&D and innovation managers in technology companies.

  • Policymakers and programme leaders in government or industry associations.

  • Teachers, researchers and trainers in greenhouse horticulture or high-tech.

  • Project managers and network builders looking for collaboration or scaling.

From vision to practice in the greenhouse innovation package

The Demo Day is part of the NXTGEN Hightech Agrifood greenhouse innovation package. Here we are working towards a handsfree future for the sector with technology that is widely applicable and contributes to a more efficient, sustainable and scalable greenhouse horticulture. Tomatoworld serves as an ecosystem location where innovations are tested, validated and shared. Not as trial balloons, but as steps towards real-world implementation.
