- Demonstrable assets. Present clear examples of build methods and plant maintenance under show conditions. Procurement teams need concise logistics and installation timelines.
- Schedule meetings early. Map potential buyers by profile and book slots during the central days of the event. A digital portfolio with case studies accelerates decision making.
- Emphasize circular practices. Folie’Flore 2026 highlights a 100% reuse or compost policy for plants. Align proposals with removal, recycling and composting solutions.
