The co-creation group is an essential part of our project — it is a place of exchange beyond the project team. We combine the expertise of numerous people from the green sector in the Netherlands and Germany. From the agricultural consultant who specializes in horticultural substrates, to the practitioner who grows blueberries or ornamental plants, to the scientist on the cutting edge of sensor technology — the co-creation group provides us with the specialist knowledge we need to achieve our common goal: sustainable horticulture in the heart of Europe.

We regularly exchange ideas with the members of the group. For example, we meet for field days, but often we also have short meetings, sometimes online, to talk about a specific aspect of our project and get advice from the group. We also keep the group up to date on the progress of our project and organize the exchange in such a way that we will remain in contact even after the project has ended.
