SINGROW

Founded by a pair of Singaporean molecular biology Phds, Singrow is another indoor farming startup. Bao Shengjie and Xu Tao have developed specific technologies to grow strawberries faster and more efficiently. Their “faster cultivation method” involves precise climate and nutrient control that can produce strawberries in just three and a half months, compared to more than six months under natural conditions, with minimum air-conditioning and pesticide use. By growing the fruit locally in a controlled environment, they can be harvested year-round and when they are fully ripe. The company has been backed by Grow, a Singapore agricultural technology accelerator.
