GreenTech Awards preventive solutions with crop protection and climate control

The chairman of Greentech July Egon Janssen explained how the jury was impressed by the volume and quality of innovations, especially in data science and AI. Smarter products now enable two-way communication with components, driving automation and high-quality data. Lighting systems with frequency-specific dimming and sustainable tech like CO₂ capture and efficient dehumidification stood out. Most exciting is plant monitoring—advanced sensors and vision tech are helping put the plant in the control loop.”

Viewnetic platform won the “concept Award”

ViewNetic transforms crop protection from reactive responses to preventive action. The ViewNetic AI-powered platform detects threats early, converts real-time data into insights, and delivers timely, actionable, and precise recommendations – empowering growers to reduce costs, increase value, and farm more sustainably. “This year, we were presented with three outstanding concepts, each with strong potential. In evaluating their impact, the jury was particularly inspired by the ViewNetic system. It represents a fundamental shift—from scouting by sample to monitoring each individual plant. This innovation could mark the beginning of chemical-free growing” said July chairman Egon Janssen.

Skytree Stratus won Greentech innovation award

 Skytree builds machines to capture CO₂ from the air and repurpose it for good. Skytree Stratus is a compact Direct Air Capture machine that enables on-site CO₂ generation from ambient air. It marks a shift to decentralized carbon capture, cutting supply chain reliance. Scalable and modular, Skytree Stratus brings sustainable, circular CO₂ use to commercial settings like greenhouses and vertical farms.  “The jury recognizes CO₂ as a critical challenge in the transition to sustainable growing. Skytree has demonstrated an extraordinary pace in developing and scaling their technology. What truly sets them apart is not only the strength of their innovation, but also their strategic focus on the business case and their effective engagement with government stakeholders. We believe Skytree is uniquely positioned to support growers on the path toward fossil-free cultivation” said Egon Janssen.
