The Netherlands remains a leading hub for greenhouse and agrifood innovation, based on recent activity tracked in the iGrow Dashboard. Current momentum is concentrated in controlled-environment agriculture and horticulture tech, with frequent product launches, trials, and integrations across AI crop management (Source.ag), lighting and crop strategy research (Signify and Grodan), breeding innovation (Rijk Zwaan, Solynta), and biocontrol solutions (Koppert). Funding rounds also reflect continued scaling in automation and data platforms, including capital for greenhouse automation (SAIA Agrobotics), AI expansion in CEA (Source.ag), and supply chain intelligence tools (TRACT).
Public funding and institutional collaboration remain visible alongside private capital. Recent examples include Dutch government support for Royal Cosun’s potential plant-based protein facility and EU/NWO-backed projects targeting automation and energy efficiency in greenhouses (e.g., automated chrysanthemum harvesting; GREENCONTROL with Wageningen-linked partners). The dataset also shows the Netherlands’ export footprint through international greenhouse projects and MoUs (notably KUBO in the Middle East and Asia), while selective consolidation and stress persist in parts of the greenhouse supply chain through M&A and bankruptcies.
