Moving from manual work to automation in startup vertical farm

Jorrit van der Veen of Microgreen Farm grows micro-vegetables on multiple layers. The entrepreneur does so in Groningen. The company has a vertical farm there. The young company is based in the Innolab Chemistry & Engineering on Campus Groningen.

Thanks to an "SME feasibility voucher", a grant that helps entrepreneurs test the feasibility of groundbreaking ideas, Jorrit has the opportunity to automate his production process and make it scalable.

"At the moment I cultivate manually, but with the voucher, I want to develop an automated system," Jorrit explains on the campus website.
