Webinars

What are Jungle Talks – webinars?

A webinar is a seminar, workshop, lecture or similar kind of knowledge transfer via the internet. Participants can follow this presentation directly on their own computer from any location and see and hear the presenters. Participants can also ask questions to the presenters or guest speakers or actively engage in a discussion. Jungle Talks – webinars focus on current issues in horticulture and work with themes such as entrepreneurships, sustainability, internationalisation and recruitment. Jungle Talks – webinars are accessible in various ways: guest speakers have the chance to reach a broad audience, while this same audience gets the opportunity to get in direct contact with unique industry leaders in international horticulture.

Why do we organize webinars?

The horticultural sector is about to enter a unprecedented period of disruptive changes. At the same time, the sector offers solutions to various challenges the world is currently facing: the world food problem and sustainable production. Apple-founder Steve Jobs already said: I think the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology. No other sector is operating more closely on the interface of technology and biology as the horticultural sector. By way of (interactive) webinars Jungle Talks wants to be thedigital platform that connects the international horticultural sector among itself and with the outside world. Jungle Talks is the behind-the-scenes operator which connects parties on all levels and from all countries and delivers the content that is needed.
