The Saudi-based agtech company, RedSea, has formed a partnership with the Saudi Downtown Company (SDC), a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), to design, build and operate RedSea greenhouses in SDC locations across Saudi Arabia.
The greenhouses will be integrated into mixed-use developments across 12 cities, and will utilise advanced sustainable technologies to promote economic growth and enhance the quality of life in each area. RedSea’s proprietary technologies, including transparent nanomaterial and a smart remote monitoring and control system, enable sustainable agriculture in hot climates. The partnership is expected to create job and training opportunities for locals in horticultural management, juice bars and cafes. RedSea has already deployed its technology in seven countries and delivers produce to over 100 retail locations in Saudi Arabia.
