What happened at Growtech Antalya 2024
Informa Markets organised Growtech Antalya on 20–23 November 2024 at the Antalya Expo Center ANFAŞ in Türkiye. The post-show report put attendance at 39,575 visitors, with 684 exhibitors over the four days. Pipelife was among the companies taking part. The exhibition centres on greenhouse technology, plant material and horticultural inputs. That makes it a gathering point for growers who produce under cover and the firms that equip them.
The 2024 halls covered what a greenhouse needs to function: structures, irrigation, plant nutrition, seeds and seedlings, automation. These parts only deliver when they work as one installation, and a design proven in one climate may struggle in another. The farm's own conditions set the starting point, from crop and cycle to water source and quality, energy supply and labour. Savings figures needed context: what they were measured against, under which conditions and where they stop applying.
Greenhouse growers, installation firms and suppliers of irrigation, seed and plant nutrition made up the main audience. For Polish companies the central question was who answers for what. One partner may design the structure, another supply the climate controller and a third handle service once the system is running. Asking for a system diagram, a list of required measurements and a plan for sensor or connectivity failure exposed gaps that single-product brochures leave out.
Comparing Antalya with GreenTech Amsterdam makes sense only against a specific crop and partnership model. For suppliers, the tangible result was a list of integrators and distributors worth approaching. Growers could instead plan a trial in part of an existing glasshouse. It would run over an agreed period against a starting baseline, with one person responsible for the records. Visitor numbers describe the market, while a pilot shows whether a system suits a Polish farm.
