CombaGroup awarded the seif Label

CombaGroup has developed a unique system with the potential to change the way we produce (and consume) our salads. In an industry where 68% of the salad is wasted they have found a way of locally producing fresh, tasty and beautiful lettuce that utilises 90% less land, 99% less water, 100% less chemicals and can potentially halve CO₂ emission for each kg of eaten salad.

It is precisely this significant lower environmental impact, together with their aeroponics system, their committed team members and belief in doing things differently what convinced the Jury members to award CombaGroup with the seif Label.

“CombaGroup is a true role model for the Investment Readiness Program – seif Label. Through high-technology transfer they realize a scalable competitive high quality food production platform while protecting the environment by dramatically reducing water consumption, nutrients, and the CO₂ footprint and eliminating the need for chemical pesticides”, comments Lutz Nolte, Head of Start-up and Entrepreneurship at CTI.

Developed in collaboration with the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI), the Impact Investment Readiness Program – seif Label offers social entrepreneurs tailored support in the groundwork required to present one’s company to impact investors. The seif Label acts therefore as a guarantee for impact investors while backing companies looking for financing.
