Syngenta Flowers joins the Club of 100 Greenhouse Horticulture. This Club of 100 is part of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) in the Netherlands. For Syngenta Flowers the membership offers an opportunity to contribute to the continuous innovation in horticulture.

When joining the Club of 100, Syngenta Flowers can make use of the broad expertise of the WUR Greenhouse Horticulture unit. In addition, members of the Club of 100 contribute to the funding of strategic research in greenhouse horticulture.

These studies have a timeline of 5 to 10 years and lay the foundation for the future of the sector, which faces enormous challenges.
