In this special Deep Dive Interview, created in collaboration with hydroponics.gr Portal Talks and Green Swans Portal Podcasts, Christos D. Katzanos sat down with Hub Janssen, the CEO of Grodan Group, at the company's headquarters in Roermond, The Netherlands.
For Christos this conversation was deeply personal. His journey with Grodan began back in 1993, when he first introduced hydroponics on a large scale in Greece as Head Agronomist at Prima Greenhouses, together with his friend and colleague Evagelos Drimtzias. Since then, Christos has worked closely with Grodan in Greece, the Balkans, Cyprus, and Egypt and he still proudly considers himself a "Grodan Ambassador."
Over the course of 60 minutes, they took a deep dive into the future of horticulture and sustainable food systems. They talked about how hydroponics, AI, and circular innovation are changing the way we grow food and how Grodan's work continues to shape the global conversation on resource efficiency, precision growing, and sustainability.
