Airlux Technologies to Support Modular Hybrid Farming Innovation
Airlux Technologies has announced a strategic collaboration with Dutch Lion AgTech Solutions to co-develop a new hybrid farming platform. This initiative merges greenhouse cultivation’s natural light advantages with the efficiency and automation of vertical farming.
The agreement centers on Dutch Lion’s patented Modular Carousel System, a scalable and automated farming solution aimed at reducing land use, energy requirements, and production costs. Airlux Technologies has been named the preferred provider of lighting and climate systems for the project.
Airlux Technologies’ Role in System Development
As part of the collaboration, Airlux Technologies will engineer a specialized lighting solution to optimize sunlight utilization within the hybrid system. In addition to custom lighting fixtures, the company will deliver advanced cooling and dehumidification technologies to maintain optimal environmental conditions across the system.
According to Robbert Bakker, CEO of Airlux Technologies, the collaboration will allow the company to “apply [its] expertise in a forward-thinking system that combines natural efficiency with intelligent design.”
Dutch Lion’s Modular Approach and the Greentech Launch
The formal signing of the agreement will take place during Greentech Amsterdam 2025, a major global event focused on horticultural innovation. Vincent van der Gaag, CEO of Dutch Lion, emphasized the importance of the partnership, stating that Airlux Technologies “understands our ambition and is committed to co-developing technical solutions for large-scale deployment.”
The hybrid farming platform will initially be tested in pilot installations in late 2025, with commercial availability targeted for 2026.
Next Steps for Airlux Technologies and Dutch Lion
The collaboration represents a move by the company to expand its footprint in next-generation cultivation platforms that prioritize energy efficiency and scalability. By integrating their technologies with Dutch Lion’s modular farming system, the companies aim to provide a practical solution for controlled environment agriculture across diverse regions.
