Market-Driven Technological Partnership
Bluelab and partner Excel Seeds are announcing our latest collaboration with Malaysian government-backed think-tank MIGHT (Market-Driven Technological Partnership) and energy innovators Wasavé.
Excel Seeds and Bluelab have provided the automation and measurement technology required to grow strawberries in a lowlands strawberry farm in Malaysia – a remarkable feat – made possible by Wasavé liquefied natural gas (LNG) greenhouse cooling technology COLDGROW™. This technology marks a significant leap forward in sustainable agriculture, offering a 20%-40% saving in total energy bills and a 22%-35% decrease in CO2 emissions.
At the opening event, Hwang Shuang Chuan, Regional Business Partner Manager for Asia and Middle East at Bluelab, commented: “This partnership represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of agricultural technology and sustainability. Together, we are working towards a future where innovative solutions can provide food security while minimizing environmental impact.”
