3 innovations awarded at GreenTech 2026

Sensie won the Innovation Award for its product Sensie Omni. Manna CEA won the Concept Award for MESH AI greenhouse automation & management. And Pats won the newly launched Impact Award for its product, Pats-C. GreenTech Amsterdam is held until Thursday, 11 June 2026, at RAI Amsterdam.

Innovation award goes to Sensie (Belgium)

Sensie Omni is a wireless plant wearable that translates real-time root, climate, and plant signals into proactive growing strategies. Egon Janssen (chairman jury): “One of the biggest challenges in horticulture is to put the plant truly in control. Sensie offers a simple and robust way to do exactly that. By bringing plant-based sensing from the scientific domain into everyday growing practice, this innovation has the potential to make a new generation of data-driven cultivation accessible to many more growers."

Concept award for Manna CEA (Republic of Korea)

MESH is a modular AI greenhouse control ecosystem combining BLE Mesh, actuator-level modules, and edge intelligence for broader farm adoption. Egon Janssen explains: “The jury sees Mannas concept as a highly scalable innovation with strong relevance for the large group of mid-tech greenhouses worldwide. By making advanced greenhouse automation more accessible, it opens clear opportunities to increase production while reducing the use of water, energy, and other resources. That combination of practicality, scalability, and impact made this concept stand out.”

Impact award goes to PATS (the Netherlands)

PATS-C is fully automated monitoring for moth pests that predicts caterpillars and helps growers prevent outbreaks, time interventions perfectly, and unlock biocontrol: Getting it right before they bite. Egon Janssen explains: “What impressed the jury is how PATS has successfully scaled up by pivoting from catching caterpillars with drones to measuring and predicting the life cycle of the caterpillar. This gives growers the information they need to deploy natural predators at the right moment. In doing so, PATS delivers a practical and no-regret step forward for biological pest control.”

Why a new ‘Impact’ category?

The purpose of this new category is to recognize organizations that have achieved significant real world impact with an existing product, with at least two years of market presence and proven high impact on sustainability and revenue growth.
