In the vibrant landscape of Africa, where innovation meets passion, Arable Grow has emerged as a beacon of hope. At the recent Kenya AfricaArena summit, where startups across the continent showcased their groundbreaking solutions, we were honoured to capture the attention and admiration of over 300 international and local investors, winning the prestigious title of the best AfricaRise startup.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Arable Grow is more than just a vertical farming company. We are pioneers in the field, with a unique approach to designing low CAPEX, horticulture-backed, and market-specific vertical farming technology. Our commitment to producing premium, organic, and sustainable fresh produce sets us apart in our quest to alleviate food insecurity.
Our flagship farm at Beaumont Primary School in Somerset West stands as a testament to our innovative spirit. By partnering with the school, we are not only cultivating crops but also nurturing a passion for urban farming in the hearts of the next generation.
Democratizing Vertical Farming
Excitingly, our cutting-edge vertical farming technology is now available for sale! This development marks a significant stride in our core focus to democratize vertical farming. By making our technology accessible, we aim to empower communities, foster sustainability, and contribute to food security, aligning with our vision to create a greener and more equitable future.
The Journey to Victory
The triumph at the Kenya AfricaArena summit was not just a milestone for Arable Grow but a personal achievement for each member of our dedicated team. Hein Duvenhage (CEO and Co-founder), Engela Smit (Co-Horticulturist, Marketing Head, and Late Founder), and Reece Dell (CFO and Co-Founder) represented our vision with enthusiasm and precision, leading us to this monumental win.
Looking to the Future: The Grand Arena
With this accolade, our sights are now set on the Grand Arena in Cape Town this December. This esteemed platform will see the best startups from across Africa pitching their visions for investment and partnerships. For Arable Grow, it’s a golden opportunity to further our commitment to a sustainable future and connect with like-minded partners.
Cultivating a Brighter Future:
In a world facing the challenges of climate change and food insecurity, Arable Grow stands as a symbol of hope and innovation. Our success at the Kenya AfricaArena summit, coupled with our initiative to make vertical farming technology accessible, is a glimpse into a future where passion meets innovation to create sustainable solutions. As we prepare for the Grand Arena, we are reminded that we are not just growing plants; we are cultivating a brighter, greener future for all.
