A collaborative consortium comprising of Dutch Greenhouse Delta (DGD), Delphy, and the Netherlands-African Business Council (NABC) has been awarded the RVO tender “Road toward a Consortium on Climate and Water Smart Protected Cultivation in Egypt”. The consortium of partners will organise all activities during the study visit, and advise companies in their hotel booking. All activities will be further coordinated with the Netherlands Embassy in Cairo.
The core programme consists of 3 days (February 12-14), with 2 additional days allocated for travel (February 11 and 15). It includes two days of field visits to relevant Egyptian/Dutch subsidiary greenhouses/farms, a networking reception, and one Demo Day which includes a seminar, showcasing Dutch expertise in protected horticulture and cold chain, and a matchmaking event.
