Part 3 of the Global Vertical Farming Show pre-event webinar is out 👏 Jamie Burrows our Founder and CEO shared his thoughts on the challenges in the sector and the importance of, when setting up operations in other regions, establishing a network, truly understanding the needs and fully preparing. Jamie spoke about how the technology-innovation curve is not yet catching up with the needs of the region relating to produce such as grains and the requirement for cross-sector collaboration between academia and the private sector, as the needed developments will take time. However, on a more positive note, he spoke about how it will be very realisable to have many of the core products such as leafy greens and tomatoes covered by vertical farming and CEA more broadly by 2030. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts! #middleeast #solutions #CEA #change #scaleup #expansion #innovation #plantscience #diversification #crops #agtech #tech #technology

An interesting read from The Grocer on the benefits that Space CEA farming can also bring to Earth, as well as the challenges the sector might face💡 Thank you for mentioning Vertical Future and our work in this area The Grocer! The story refers to our recently awarded grant from the UK Space Agency international Bilateral Fund and Australian Space Agency to develop an autonomous environmental agriculture facility in space alongside the University of Cambridge. There is a lot of work to be done - but we and our valued partners are ready for the challenge! 🌎🛰️ Have a great week everyone 🙌 https://lnkd.in/exaq3V9S #spacetech #agtech #tech #plantscience #food #foodsecurity #innovation #nasa #space

What a week last week during ‘London Climate Action Week’! 👏🙌🍃♻️ First stop for us was the Barclays ‘Sustainable Agriculture: Protecting Generations to Come’ event held at The Conduit, which was an inspiring way to start the week and had some excellent speakers from across the industry, including from the Soil Association, Tesco, Nature Friendly Farming Network and Agricarbon. Thursday we attended a World Economic Forum and City of London Corporation panel discussion at Mansion House - the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London - which we were invited to attend as a WEF Global Innovator. The event brought together government, civil society leaders and businesses and focused on how we can enable a nature-positive and net-zero economy through sustainable finance and policy frameworks 🌍 The evening concluded in style with the London Climate Action Week Gala at Guildhall, a night bringing together key representation across the climate ecosystem to celebrate important achievements in climate action and to look ahead at positive global initiatives 🎉 On Friday, last but by no means least, we were at a Food Tank event at the Google HQ in London, where speakers delved into the intersection of food, technology, investment, and the climate crisis💡 Great work Grant Macdonald and Svetlana Frantuz from our Commercial team for their efforts during this action-packed week! Events are an important means to foster discussions, but it goes without saying that action is even more important. We here at Vertical Future are committed to action to achieve our shared climate goals. Have a great Friday everyone!

Check out this recording of our Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Jennifer Bromley speaking at the Indoor AgTech Innovation Summit in Chicago last week, where she discussed the value of CEA data and its strategic importance to the future of agriculture, also announcing some new service offerings for the market. Thank you to all those who attended the session and to Rethink Events for organising such an excellent show 🙌 https://lnkd.in/eUQYPNPZ #future #agtech #cea #food #water #technology #data #plantscience #innovation #indooragtech

Last month we had the pleasure of hosting a shareholders' meeting for our valued shareholders at The Conduit in London. These face-to-face meetings are key and it was great to see some friendly faces - some of whom had travelled long distances specially to attend. We are hugely thankful to every one of our shareholders for believing in our vision to use our CEA technology and data (and our amazing team of course!) as a means to improve planetary and population health and to reduce food-related inequalities globally. Vertical Future would quite literally not be here without you! #CEA #agtech #verticalfarming #foodsecurity #water #food #plantscience

Last week our Founder & CEO Jamie Burrows had the pleasure of being invited to participate in a panel at the UK-Saudi Sustainable Infrastructure Summit at Plaisterers' Hall in London, hosted by the City of London Corporation, Saudi British Joint Business Council (SBJBC), and NEOM. Speakers discussed some of the key topics of our time, including the importance and development of Sustainable Infrastructure projects, financing and the future of green technologies. The event explored what makes a sustainable city and what our cities will look like at the turn of the next century💡 Huge thanks to all involved - it was fascinating to learn and understand more about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s plans for its rollout of various Giga projects structured around NEOM. At Vertical Future, we're also committed to not only improving human and planetary health through the deployment of sustainable infrastructure, but to fostering and being part of cross-border initiatives such as these.
