AIPH expands its global network with three new Affiliate Members

AIPH’s community of leading organisations is growing. During the 77th AIPH Annual Congress, held in Ghent, Belgium, from 14th-18th September 2025, the Board of the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) approved the applications of three new Affiliate Members, bringing fresh expertise in automation, biotechnology, and sustainable event solutions to the association.

As the world’s champion for the power of plants, AIPH has been supporting grower associations since 1948. AIPH Members are grower associations and trade organisations representing the interests of ornamental horticulture in their respective countries.

Around the world, plants are being recognised as a sustainable contributor to climate action and the improvement of people’s health, both physically and mentally. Horticultural producers are therefore a vital component in securing a healthier, more resilient future. The power of a larger association like AIPH in bringing together and amplifying the voices of these associations is the reason for the increasing worldwide membership.

Affiliate Membership is open to any business or organisation with an interest and involvement in ornamental horticulture.

TTA-ISO

Born from the collaboration between TTA and ISO Group – two companies with a strong reputation in horticultural automation – TTA-ISO combines decades of knowledge, experience, and innovation. The company supplies growers with reliable, high-tech solutions that improve efficiency, reduce labour challenges, and enhance plant quality.

We Lodge

We Lodge specialises in securing sustainable accommodation solutions for major events worldwide. Currently, they are supporting staff and guests of more than a dozen pavilions at EXPO 2025 Osaka, whilst also preparing accommodation for the upcoming COP30 in Belem, Brazil, and the 2026 Winter Games in Italy.

Rise N Shine

Based in Pune, India, Rise N Shine specialises in biotechnology for horticulture. In addition to developing a range of products to support growers’ yields, Rise N Shine also provides education and training to enhance success and create employment opportunities in the local area.

‘We are delighted to welcome these organisations as Affiliate Members,’ said Tim Briercliffe, Secretary General of AIPH, ‘Their expertise and commitment to sustainable and high-quality solutions for horticulture and mega-events such as Expos will reinforce AIPH’s mission to promote the power of plants globally.’
