THE GREEN ITALY BUYERS PROGRAM

Your VIP Experience at FLORMART – GREEN ITALY 2024

The GREEN ITALY Buyers Program, organized in cooperation with ITA – Italian Trade Agency, offers a unique business experience in the Italian horticultural sector to selected international professionals.

The Program aims to become a reference point by offering the opportunity to meet the best Italian producers and discover the value of Made in Italy through innovation, tradition and connection with the territory. More than 300 Top Buyers, including 150 international professionals, attended Flormart – Green Italy in 2023.

The GREEN ITALY Buyers Program Team promotes the meeting with the key players of the Italian horticultural sector both inside and outside the trade show: events, networking activities, and visits to sites that express the excellence of the sector and their bond with the territory and the Italian tradition.

INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS

A dynamic laboratory that addresses the hot topics of the Italian green supply chain, with the aim of promoting “Green Italy” in both the domestic and international markets. This is the core of Flormart – GREEN ITALY, the global professional exhibition of floriculture, green, and landscape. Strategically scheduled at the beginning of autumn in Padua (Veneto Region), GREEN ITALY is a significant point of contact between the world of flower, plant, seed, and substrate production and its key international stakeholders: among them, distributors (garden centers, DIY, wholesalers), professionals involved in the care, maintenance, and design of green spaces, large real estate groups, and – last but not least – public bodies.

The Flormart – GREEN ITALY Buyers Program is the result of the fruitful collaboration between Fiere di Parma and ITA – Italian Trade Agency. We cooperate in several activities that represent the key point of the Program, such as scouting and selection, invitation, logistics and welcoming of international participants. Our joint efforts aim to provide selected international professionals with a unique experience in the Italian green sector.
