The consortium reflects growing investor interest in the Gulf in sustainable farming solutions that can combat pandemics and global supply chain disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding is being led by a group of Saudi and UAE investors including the Aramco entrepreneurship arm Wa\u2019ed, the non-profit foundation Future Investment Initiative Institute,&nbsp;KAUST<em>&nbsp;<\/em>and Global Ventures, a UAE venture capital group.&nbsp;The funding is one of the first AgTech investment for many of the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Sea Farms was established in 2018 with a vision to reduce food insecurity, carbon and fresh water use in the global and Gulf food sectors. The company\u2019s unique, end-to-end growing system primarily uses salt water, cutting fresh-water consumption by 85 to 90 percent. Through a patented system of new, more efficient solar and growth monitoring technologies, salt water replaces fresh water typically used to cool greenhouses and irrigate crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Sea Farms\u2019 growing systems can be quickly and easily scaled in climates such as the Middle East, where conventional farming methods are not possible or cost-effective. The company is initially using its technology to grow and sell tomatoes in Saudi Arabia, but ultimately plans to sell entire turn-key growing systems to buyers around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Sea Farms plans to use the funding to build and retrofit more than six hectares of commercial farming operations in central and western Saudi Arabia. The company currently operates a salt-water pilot greenhouse at the KAUST Research &amp; Technology Park.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are proud to have designed, developed and delivered one of the world\u2019s most sustainable agricultural systems from our base in Saudi Arabia,\u201d said&nbsp;Ryan Lefers, Red Sea\u2019s Chief Executive, who along with professors Mark Tester, Chief Scientist and Derya Baran, Chief Engineer, co-founded Red Sea Farms. \u201cThe investment from our new partners will help us improve global food security while reducing the carbon and fresh-water footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wassim Basrawi, the managing director of Aramco venture Wa\u2019ed, said: \u201cThe Red Sea Farms investment reflects our decade-long commitment to the Saudi start-up sector, where Wa\u2019ed has deployed more than $100 million in venture capital investments and loans to more than 100 entrepreneurs. Red Sea Farms is a good example of a game-changing start-up whose innovations not only can transform markets but improve life for everyone in the Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investment is FII Institute\u2019s first in the AgTech sector. Richard Attias, the FII Institute Chief Executive Officer, said:&nbsp;\u201cOur investment in Red Sea Farms is an expression of FII-Institute\u2019s mission to support initiatives and projects which will have a positive impact on humanity.&nbsp;Our trilogy strategy \u2018Think-Xchange-Act\u2019 empowers us to play a transformative role in the new impact economy. We are pleased to partner with the King Abdullah University for Science and Technology and leading investors to bring this revolutionary technology to market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kevin Cullen, the vice president of innovation and economic development KAUST where Red Sea Farms was developed, said: \u201cKAUST is powering an emerging deep tech start-up ecosystem in Saudi Arabia \u2013 and Red Sea Farms is helping to drive this revolution. The start-up is the product of many years of research in KAUST labs, now commercialized and ready to change the face of agriculture in the Middle East and other water-scarce regions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Said&nbsp;General Partner Noor Sweid at Global Ventures:&nbsp;\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with Red Sea Farms. With the earth\u2019s resources depleting at an alarming rate, food and water security have become pressing global challenges. Powered by KAUST\u2019s ecosystem of scientific and tech knowledge, Red Sea Farms is envisioning sustainable and innovative ways of addressing these issues in the region and the world, with the ultimate objective of leaving our planet better than we found it for the generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A KAUST spin-out advised by Kirchner Group, Red Sea Farms&nbsp;was originally founded by Tester, a plant scientist, and Lefers, an agricultural engineering expert. The pair recently acquired Iyris Advanced Desert Greenhouses, a maker of smart glass that integrates solar technologies and optical tuning developed by KAUST\u2019s Baran, who became a co-founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Sea Farms received a $1.9 million investment in 2019 from the KAUST Innovation Fund and Saudi-based Research Products Development Company. A leading graduate research university, KAUST is a major innovator of sustainable agriculture solutions for the Middle East and other water-scarce regions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investor group includes Aramco entrepreneurship arm Wa\u2019ed, the Future Investment Initiative Institute and KAUST from Saudi Arabia, and Global Ventures of the UAE.
