Our technology uses 90% less water than traditional agriculture and does not require the use of pesticides orherbicides, making it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way to produce food. We have learned our lesson from other companies' failures and invented technology that allows our clients to produce herbs, lettuce or exotic mushrooms at the price of traditional supply chains. It helps to maximize our clients profits and reduce negative aspects of growing and selling fresh produce (waste, carbon footprint, water usage) We were founded in 2021 by entrepreneurs and scientists who are passionate about solving the challenges of food production in the 21st century. We believe that vertical farming is the future of agriculture, and we are committed to making our technology accessible to everyone.Our technology is based on a number of innovative concepts, including: A fully automated system that reduces labor costs and improves efficiency. A responsive lighting system that provides the optimal amount of light for each type of plant. A multi-chamber cultivation system that allows us to grow a wider variety of crops. A focus on sustainability and environmental protection. We are currently in the process of commercializing our technology, and we are working with a number of commercial partners to bring our products to market.

| OBORTECH | See our pitch deck here: https://bit.ly/3UiOoLxPROBLEM ----According to Boston Consulting Group, 1.6B tons of food are wasted annually, releasing 4B tons of CO2. The improved connection between producers and suppliers could reduce the problem annually by $60B. Lack of supply chain visibility causes food companies to loseannually $179M in the US alone. Companies can save up to $120B by decreasing supply chain inefficiency. Supply chains are disconnected due to multiple actors having different technical capacities and traditional systems having barriers such as centralized data control, customization complexity, and high implementation costs. Especially small companies can’t build and maintain those systems and are isolated from supply chain digitization.SOLUTION ------How Smart Hub works: https://www.obortech.io/solutionHow various actors collaborate together to build the product story at multiple levels of the supply chain: https://youtu.be/r5_Fh_9LeY8?si=hpkp1NW9JV27B_zKThe Smart Hub connects producers, transporters, and consumers via a single platform: https://youtu.be/9x7LcvZdzzo?si=3s8_PSxy88ThQ0sRThe Smart Hub is a highly customizable solution with fast deployment, requiring only 1-2 weeks to set up. It can streamline and digitize any manual data gathering from field users, factory experts, remote suppliers, transportation, and office workers through its web and mobile applications and open API tools. Collected data is registered on a tamper-proof blockchain platform accessible and verifiable by multiple actors. Users can act promptly and make agile decisions based on real-time notifications and events sent IoT sensors and the platform users. It can be a data collection tool to complement any in-house data management systems, feeding them multi-actor verified data from various supply chain environments. Using the Smart Hub, supply chain actors can share, comment, accept, monitor, and verify various events and documents in the supply chain to collaborate with other users digitally.The Smart Hub is a multi-actor collaboration platform that creates value for each participant. It does not just create traceability data for product batches with few events and inventory numbers. It can build a rich story of the product by different supply chain participants. The Smart Hub is designed to operate in a way similar to a social network (Facebook, etc). Multiple actors build together a story of a product in an environment similar to a “News feed.” Then, they create NFT on the public blockchain to share the story with public users like consumers. It can be a simple tool for enhancing any in-house traceability system. | $52.8K | Grant | Dec 08, 2022 |  |
