Following a successful edition in January of this year, preparations for the 2024 edition of the Mastercourse Floriculture are in full swing. The course again coincides with IPM Essen. The selection of participants is finalized, and another group of (future) CEOs representing international, ‘future proof’ floricultural companies will visit the Netherlands and Germany for two weeks.
Partners
During two intensive weeks in the Netherlands and Germany, the selected participants are immersed in a wealth of horticultural knowledge and experience. Koppert Biological Systems, Ridder, Hortilux Schrèder, Logiqs, Viscon, Dümmen Orange, Floramedia, Letsgrow, Klasmann-Deilmann and Van Krimpen are partners of the Pro Manager Mastercourse. The participants will be received by members of the board of directors at each of the aforementioned companies.

“We are very proud these leading companies and organizations work together to support and inspire this international group,” says co-organizer Renee Snijders. “Jungle Talks will maintain and foster the contacts between participants, partners, and supporters after the Pro Manager Mastercourse in order to make sure that all parties will make the most of this valuable cooperation. That is why we’re also planning the first Mastercourse Alumni Meet Up in Brazil. We’re very excited about it and look forward to offering an engaging 5-day program in and around Holambra from August 11-16, 2024, in close cooperation with our former participants.”
This edition’s participants come from Canada, Guatemala, Colombia, China, Kenya, Taiwan, Turkey, Portugal, Poland, Belgium and the Netherlands. This diverse group is once again a good reflection of the worldwide floricultural sector, both in terms of geography and product differentiation. “Our participants are active in the production of cut flowers, green and flowering plants, Phalaenopsis, bedding plants, as well as outdoor plants and trees.”
Cooperating companies’ directors are receiving the participants and will discuss merely strategy and vision. These strategic insights provide the participants with a final encouragement in their development towards the steps to be taken in their own company to take over the lead. After two weeks of meetings with Dutch floricultural leaders, complemented by inspirational sessions and interactive meetings and workshops, the participants will be asked to pitch their personal vision on the future of the international floricultural sector and the role of their company in it.
