Blue Radix announces that current shareholder Navus is reinvesting in the company. The investment reaffirms Navus’s confidence in Blue Radix’s strategic direction, the value the company creates for growers, and the further development of autonomous cultivation worldwide. Blue Radix operates in 18 countries and supports growers with various crops, cultivation strategies, greenhouse types, and climate conditions. This extensive practical experience forms the basis for the ongoing development of Crop Controller, the AI technology that autonomously makes thousands of climate and irrigation decisions every day.
With the follow-on investment, Navus confirms its confidence in Blue Radix’s strategy, technology, and market position. Eduard Meijer, Director of Navus, explains: “Blue Radix has established a unique position within the domain of autonomous control, demonstrating how AI actually creates value for growers. We have confidence in the company’s strategy and look forward to the next phase of growth and market development. To increase the impact of AI-driven innovations in greenhouse horticulture, continued support is essential. We are therefore continuing to invest in Blue Radix’s further development.”
Autonomous growing offers multiple solutions for serious challenges
“The global greenhouse horticulture industry needs solutions that help growers reduce costs, while improving productivity and sustainability,” says Ronald Hoek, CEO of Blue Radix. “We view Navus’s renewed investment in Blue Radix as a strong confirmation of our vision and of the impact that autonomous growing is now making in practice. Together, we continue to build solutions for the global greenhouse horticulture industry, addressing challenges such as rising energy costs, a shortage of experienced growers, and the need for predictable production. At the same time, the amount of available data is growing, while it is becoming increasingly challenging to translate that data effectively into day-to-day cultivation decisions.
With autonomous climate and irrigation control, Blue Radix helps growers make this complexity manageable. Artificial intelligence continuously analyzes data and automatically adjusts processes, constantly striking the optimal balance between production, quality, energy use, water consumption, and labor efficiency. This allows growers to tackle multiple challenges in the greenhouse simultaneously and respond better to changing circumstances.”
Technology that creates both economic and sustainable value
Blue Radix’s technology supports growers in achieving both economic and sustainable objectives. By continuously optimizing climate and irrigation strategies, energy and water consumption can be reduced without compromising production or quality.
Building further growth together
This combination of innovation, measurable results, and sustainable impact aligns well with Navus’s investment philosophy, which focuses on companies that contribute to a future-proof food and agriculture industry. Ronald Hoek, CEO of Blue Radix: “With this follow-on investment, we are focusing on expansion in both existing and new markets, on strengthening cooperation with growers and partners, and on the further development of our technology. It gives us confidence to continue building on our vision for autonomous climate and irrigation control and to further increase its impact for growers worldwide.”
