Agroz has announced a new phase of development aimed at positioning agriculture as a technology-enabled, investable infrastructure class. Built on Microsoft Azure's AI infrastructure, the company's proprietary Agroz OS platform combines automation, data analytics, and energy optimization to create scalable, data-driven food production systems.
Agriculture as distributed infrastructure
Agroz is advancing an approach in which food production operates as distributed infrastructure - modular, measurable, and investable. Its first commercial deployment, co-developed with Harvest Today, the developer of the patented Harvest Wall™ technology, demonstrates how vertical, AI-orchestrated systems can supply pesticide-free produce closer to consumption hubs while reducing resource use.
"This is the right time to show how technology, sustainability, and capital can work together to generate lasting economic and environmental returns," says Gerard Lim, Director and Chief Executive Officer at Agroz.
Technology platform and AI integration
The Agroz OS platform supports automation and energy optimization across installations and will power new AI-enabled tools, including Agroz Copilot, a system designed to provide real-time operational recommendations and predictive analytics. Together, these technologies support Agroz's aim to increase productivity, reduce costs, and expand sustainable food access.
Momentum and recognition
The company's vertically integrated business model includes Design & Build, Operations & Management, Technology (Agroz OS), and Product Commercialization divisions. Agroz's sustainability framework aligns with ten United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and has been recognized by UNDP Malaysia's SDG Investor Map, ESG Malaysia, and national awards including the Best Agrotechnology Award (2024) and Emerging Brand Legend Award (2024).
Policy and market outlook
Malaysia's Budget 2026 introduces a 10-year income tax exemption for new agricultural ventures, highlighting government support for innovation and sustainable infrastructure. Agroz expects this policy, combined with its proprietary technology and ESG alignment, to attract institutional investors interested in long-term, technology-driven agricultural assets.
Agroz will continue expanding its modular, AI-integrated systems across Malaysia and key Asia-Pacific markets, develop next-generation analytics and automation tools built on Agroz OS, and engage with ESG-aligned investors to scale agriculture as an asset class.
