Helping to support efficient and sustainable modern farmers and feeding the world in a ‘smarter way’ are complimentary business and social impacts for the team at InvertiGro.
The Sydney-based company – named as a finalist in the 2022 InnovationAus Awards for Excellence in the Food and Agritech category – designs and builds Indoor Vertical Farming solutions as an Australian AgTech innovator, thereby enabling sustainable and profitable urban agriculture.
It’s a big idea that started from a simple plan to start a farm and become farmers ten years ago, according to co-chief executive officer Paul Millett. “Initially, we wanted to build a farm and become farmers doing this indoor farming thing, which was pretty new back then,” he said.
“As a startup, we do this via a mix of deep engineering and product design capabilities, combined with agronomy and horticultural expertise, technology architects and developers aligned around a lofty but pragmatic purpose to ‘feed the world the smarter way.’” The product, technology, and service offering include patent-protected hardware, a bespoke set of smart farm management software, and a range of support services that enable customers to rapidly and affordably become farmers anywhere across the globe.
