Swiss cleantech firm Aqua4D is bringing its water-smart irrigation solution to ever more growers in 2020:
A brand-new HQ in Valais, Switzerland, gives the company a solid base from which to grow – and assemble all its products in-house. Meanwhile, a new office in California’s Central Valley, headed up by David Clay and co-founder Walter Thut, is the ideal launching pad to serve a growing interest, notably from almond, pistachio, grape, and avocado producers in the region.
The company are also buoyed by an expanding list of institutional support. Official backing from the Swiss Climate Foundation and the EU’s Horizon 2020 fund now sit alongside recognition from the Solar Impulse Foundation, CleanTech Alps, and the Swiss Confederation. Thus, Aqua4D is now widely recognized as crucial for improving the efficiency of irrigation systems while contributing to several of the UN's SDGs.
This clean technology allows irrigation water savings of up to 30%, restoring saline soils, and keeping irrigation pipes and systems clean in a fully sustainable way. The technology is efficient, operational, scalable worldwide, and is fully complementary to existing irrigation infrastructure and e-monitoring.
