Registration open for “The Best Idea at Plantarium 2016”

In the context of this year's theme “Show It”, Plantarium is challenging businesses and students to take part in “The Best Idea at Plantarium 2016”. During the fair, Plantarium offers a platform where innovations or ideas can be presented to a national and international audience.

Flip thinking, thinking outside the box: these are the key concepts when it comes to new ideas. “The aim of this competition is to get businesses thinking by means of innovative ideas”, says fair manager Jos van Lint.

Best idea
The idea must have some connection with the horticulture chain, either now or in the future. Entries can be submitted in four categories:

Indoor (retail/presentations/communication/shopping)
Outdoor (landscaping/gardening)
Technology (automation/computerisation/logistics)
Product (novelties/cultivation techniques/propagation)

The ideas will be pitched to the public and the trade jury on a specially designed innovation square. A prototype and/or an appealing presentation can be used in the pitch.

Award
The ideas will be judged by the trade jury, taking several criteria into account. The votes of the public and trade jury will determine which entry wins the title of “Best Idea at Plantarium 2016”. For the Best Idea submitted by students, a cash prize of €1000 is available. Trade colleagues will receive a PR package of the same value.
