Optimal

Optimal is dedicated to revolutionizing the agricultural sector by accelerating the deployment of sustainable greenhouses worldwide. Their mission is to supply healthy fruits and vegetables to billions, using significantly less land and water, while also being resilient to extreme weather conditions caused by climate change. The company operates a commercial greenhouse in the Netherlands, a hub for global greenhouse innovation, where it develops and tests its cutting-edge technologies. Optimal employs advanced AI technology to simulate entire greenhouse environments, allowing for the prediction and understanding of the impacts of agricultural decisions before they are implemented. This technology aids in increasing yield and quality, reducing costs, and eliminating errors in greenhouse operations. Optimal’s initiatives are supported by notable investors such as Acequia Capital, Backed VC, Entrepreneur First, Founders Fund, and prominent individuals like Edward Grefenstette from Google DeepMind, Wendy Tan White formerly of Google X, and Charlie Songhurst, ex-head of strategy at Microsoft.
