Plantagon have developed certain intellectual property in relation to urban vertical farming and are world-leaders within urban agriculture, infrastructural food systems integrating energy, water and waste management. Their landmark project “The World Food Building” in Linköping, Sweden, is attracting global attention and is seen by many as leading the development of large scale and sustainable food production in cities.

Enspire work with governments to preserve and develop their assets. They collaborate with world leaders and bring together public and private enterprise to create the economic architecture that enables long-term, sustainable growth.

Soud Ba’alawy, the founder and chairman of Enspire has long experience in financial and infrastructural projects, for corporations as well as cities and nations and sees global food security and sustainable food production as a critical challenge for the future.

“We call it the ‘imperative FEW’; every city requires Food, Energy and Water to provide a sustainable living for its citizens. In our work to provide governments with the economic architecture that enables long-term, sustainable growth, Plantagon will play the important role of providing solutions for food security and sustainable food production, and creating symbiotic systems within the cities,” says Soud Ba’alawy.

Enspire will work to procure further investment in Plantagon in the coming years (including seeking out regional opportunities to showcase the technology).
