How CEA is expanding around the world
Added on 16 June 2022
Prior to the summit, event organizers gathered Dirk Aleven (CEO??? at FoodVentures), Cristian Sjogren (Co-Founder and CEO at Agrourbana), and Ben Crowther (CTO at LettUs Grow) to discuss what's happening in their markets. A condensed version of their discussion is below; check out the entire conversation here and hear from other thought leaders who will be speaking at the Indoor AgTech Innovation Summit here.
How does your geographical location affect your pathway to production?
LettUs Grow: As a technology supplier we're not particularly sensitive to any geographical factors. However, working with clients in the UK is a challenging testing ground for our technology due to the relatively high energy and labor and low produce prices in the UK currently. Demonstrating our product's effectiveness in the UK shows huge promise for deployments around the rest of the world.
AgroUrbana: We are currently set in the perfect testing ground for vertical farming as Chile is a developing economy with a Mediterranean climate which makes traditional agriculture extremely competitive. We are proving that vertical farming can be competitive in these market conditions to then prove it competitive around the world.
What do you feel is needed from your region to help you scale at speed, and be profitable, sustainable, and overall successful?
