The new facility, set to reach 24,000 square meters, will be located in Abdali and aims to revolutionize food production in the Gulf region through resource-efficient technology.
Vaud-based CleanGreens Solutions has announced a major international expansion through a strategic partnership with Kuwait’s GreenLife Company to build the world’s largest aeroponic greenhouse farm.
This announcement follows the success of GreenLife’s initial 7,500 m² aeroponics greenhouse, which has operated using CleanGreens’ patented system for nearly three years. Encouraged by the results—particularly in terms of produce quality, water efficiency, and year-round productivity in a harsh climate—GreenLife has now committed to expanding the installation by 16,500 m².
The partnership highlights the relevance and scalability of CleanGreens’ GREENOVA system. Developed in the canton of Vaud, this patented solution uses a mobile irrigation robot to deliver nutrients directly to the roots of plants suspended in air, dramatically reducing water usage by up to 96% and eliminating the need for pesticides. The modular design enables automation and multiple harvests per cycle, offering higher yields with significantly fewer inputs.
“This collaboration reaffirms CleanGreens’ position as a global leader in controlled environment agriculture,” said Bruno Cheval, CEO of CleanGreens Solutions. “The success in Kuwait demonstrates that our technology is not only adaptable to extreme conditions, but also commercially viable and scalable.”
For GreenLife, the project aligns with national goals of food security and sustainability. As the first aeroponic farm in the GCC region and the first farm in Kuwait to receive GLOBAL G.A.P. certification for lettuce, GreenLife is setting new standards in agricultural quality and traceability.
Beyond food production, the project also showcases the viability of controlled environment agriculture as a profitable model. Backed by industrial leaders and foodtech investors, including Groupe LSDH, Capagro, and Air Liquide Ventures, CleanGreens continues to pioneer solutions at the intersection of agtech, climate resilience, and economic return.
