Punjab, under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, is set to establish a horticulture experience and learning center similar to the World Horti Center in the Netherlands. This initiative aims to foster collaboration among researchers, academic institutions, industry partners, and government stakeholders to advance sustainable agricultural practices. During his visit to the Netherlands, Mann learned about innovative techniques in greenhouse horticulture, including the use of automation, artificial intelligence, and precision irrigation systems to enhance productivity and resource efficiency. He also explored potential collaborations for knowledge transfer and technology partnerships. Additionally, Mann invited NXP Semiconductors to consider setting up a research and development center in Mohali, aligning with the state's ambitions to create a thriving technology ecosystem. The Punjab government has identified electronics and semiconductors as key sectors in its Industrial and Business Development Policy, 2026, offering incentives to attract investment.
