AeroFarms has pioneered and led the indoor vertical farming industry with disruptive technology and commercial operations that allows plants to grow in a highly-efficient, automated setting, achieving up to 390 X greater productivity while using up to 95% less water and zero pesticides versus traditional field farming. Their proprietary technology platform includes lighting, machine learning, and environmental controls – all of which took years to refine before the company started selling at scale produce to retailers from their global headquarters and home to the world's largest indoor vertical farm using aeroponics. That gives it a major head start – and a competitive moat – from rivals who might try to replicate its offering.

IPO Edge recently published an analysis of the company, which can be read here.

Messrs. Rosenberg and Sorrells will discuss:

 ▪ An overview of the merger and investment highlights

 ▪ How aeroponics technology is disrupting the industry

 ▪ Why the leafy greens business is poised for growth

 ▪ AeroFarms’ retail presence and strategy

 ▪ The growth strategy beyond the Northeast
