Networking event during GreenTech 2026

New connections make next steps around robotics and AI more concrete

Tuesday 9 June 2026 | Robotics & AI Lab in the Innovation Zone, RAI Amsterdam

Connect questions, contacts and possible next steps in one hour

On Tuesday 9 June 2026, NXTGEN Hightech Agrifood is hosting a networking drink during GreenTech Amsterdam 2026. From 17:00 to 18:00, you are welcome at the Robotics & AI Lab in the Innovation Zone, stand number 05.557L. The networking drink is intended for NXTGEN participants and interested visitors who want to continue the conversation during GreenTech about robotics, AI, data and practical application in greenhouse horticulture. After the GreenTech programme around robotics and AI, this informal moment offers the opportunity to make relevant connections, test questions and explore possible follow-up conversations.

Programme for the NXTGEN networking event during GreenTech Amsterdam 2026

The networking drink does not have a formal content programme. It is a practical networking moment for visitors who want to discuss robotics, AI and application in greenhouse horticulture in a concrete way.

 

Between 17:00 and 18:00, you will meet other visitors, NXTGEN participants and interested parties from the Handsfree Agrifood ecosystem. You can exchange experiences about what you have seen at GreenTech, ask questions about application in the greenhouse or in post-harvest processes, and explore which parties may be relevant for a follow-up conversation.

 

Because the networking drink takes place in the Robotics & AI Lab, the step from exhibition floor to conversation is small. You do not need to attend a content session and there is no fixed agenda. The value lies in focused encounters, recognition of shared practical questions and finding people with whom a follow-up conversation could be worthwhile.

Why you should not miss this networking event

Many GreenTech visitors see that robotics and AI are becoming more concrete, but also that practical application requires more than a strong demonstration. Data, integration, reliability, labour and costs all help determine whether technology fits within a cultivation process, company or market. That is exactly why an informal conversation is valuable. In one hour, you can test how others view the same developments, which questions they recognise and which contacts are worth following up.

Who is this networking event for?

The networking drink is intended for NXTGEN participants and interested visitors attending GreenTech Amsterdam 2026 who are active in or around greenhouse horticulture. This includes technology companies, growers, suppliers, knowledge institutions and system integrators. Data and AI specialists, robotics developers and parties working on automation, digitalisation, cultivation optimisation or post-harvest processes are also a good fit. If you are looking for contacts who bring technology, practice, research and market closer together, this is a relevant moment to join.

Shared practical questions bring technology, cultivation and market closer together

Within the Handsfree Agrifood ecosystem, NXTGEN Hightech Agrifood works on connections between technology, practice, knowledge and market. This networking drink mainly reflects the value of broadening. GreenTech brings international players and different disciplines together. By creating space for encounters during the exhibition, it becomes easier to explore practical questions, possible collaborations and follow-up conversations without entering into a formal process.
