Horti Fair House of Genetics 2008

In the Horti Fair House of Genetics (stand 08.0630), the ‘story' behind the end product is told and depicted. Sometimes this concerns a fictitious product of which researchers are still dreaming and marketers would not even dare think about yet. Often this is an already exiting horticultural product, which tells how it was developed and which future objectives it will help to achieve.

All activities in the 150 m² large special interest pavilion are engrafted onto the central theme of Horti Fair 2007: ‘Focus on water and energy’. Businesses use this perspective for presenting their products:
