Location

Floriade 2012 is being hosted by the Regio Venlo. A perfect location: at the heart of Europe, on the border of the Netherlands and Germany. This region is currently undergoing a number of major developments. Staging Floriade will act as a catalyst to these developments.

Greenport Venlo
Floriade 2012 will be taking place at the centre of Greenport Venlo. The name Greenport is used for economic networks of companies, organisations and institutes involved in horticulture. Greenport Venlo is one of five Greenports in the Netherlands. Together they form driving force of the entire Dutch horticultural complex. Greenport Venlo includes the entire horticultural complex between Nijmegen and Sittard. The beating heart of Greenport Venlo is within municipal borders of Venlo, Horst aan de Maas, Maasbree and Sevenum.
Greenport Venlo is the only Dutch horticultural region that is showing substantial growth.

Venlo Greenpark
Floriade 2012 will be leaving the region a sustainable legacy: Venlo Greenpark. Venlo GreenPark is a high-end business park dedicated to innovation, sustainability, logistics, knowledge transfer and market orientation located in the stunning, verdant surroundings of the Floriade site.
