About Gront Centrum

Gotland Grönt Centrum is a Gotland-based hub for the green industries, bringing together education, business development, project work, and meeting facilities in one place in Roma. It serves students, companies, organizations, and visitors who want to learn, collaborate, train, or host events within agriculture, food, animal care, forestry, horticulture, and rural development.

The organization describes itself as a living environment for learning, innovation, and future-oriented competence in the green sector. Its roots in agricultural education go back more than 70 years in Roma, and today it combines school-based learning with practical operations, business networking, and public-facing services.
