Speaker: Novyi

Volodymyr NOVYI

Forum speaker Volodymyr Novyi - co-owner and director of Green Wave Organic LLC - a reliable supplier of environmentally friendly greens, talked about dreams and their realisation. His interesting approach to growing greens has attracted many like-minded people, as vertical greenhouses are a completely new trend in this area.

The first thing the GREEN WAVE ORGANIC team did was to study the problem in detail and set out the engineering tasks. As a result, fresh salads, herbs and microgreens became much more affordable, as Mr Volodymyr and his specialists came up with innovative solutions and developed a unique growing technology, and the process itself was maximally automated and enriched with energy-efficient solutions.

"Our engineering team has already designed several projects, so we approached the design of vertical greenhouses very carefully. This project is the most mature. We understood that in recent years the greenhouse industry has declined to the point of being destroyed, so that from now on 80% to 90% of all the products we buy in supermarkets are of non-Ukrainian origin. So why is it that competitors in other countries can do business successfully and sell their products on the Ukrainian market, but we can't? - Volodymyr Novyi noted.

Implemented by the NGO "Tech StartUp School" as part of the project "Makership, innovation and entrepreneurship in the Chervonohrad coal micro-region".

The event is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) with support from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH as part of the project "Just Transition of Coal Regions and Green Recovery of Ukraine's Energy Sector".
