On September 4th and 5th, KUBO organized the fifth Ultra-Clima Convention, where growers and owners of Ultra-Clima greenhouses from all over the world came together. During GreenTech in Amsterdam, KUBO had previously presented their innovative CO2-negative cultivation method, but after 15 years of innovation with Ultra-Clima, this convention focused on even more developments.
This year, the convention was organized in Rotterdam. Following an opening speech by CEO Wouter Kuiper, a presentation updated customers on innovations such as AutoPylot, Air Movement, CO2 Negative Cultivation, and Energy Savings. These Smart Growing services offer growers advanced solutions to make their cultivation easier, more efficient, and more sustainable. These days are of great importance for Ultra Clima growers. They come together from all over the world to share Ultra-Clima knowledge and experiences. During this meeting, they exchange their insights. This valuable KUBO community offers a unique opportunity for growers and owners to connect globally and learn from each other's experiences.
According to Danny Monté, a Greenhouse Growing Expert, these innovations are all about relieving the customer's burden: "We have actually developed one thing, and that is to take away the headache for the grower. Take, for example, AutoPylot, KUBO's autonomous cultivation system. With this, growers no longer rely solely on experience and intuition, but also on science and data. Work that used to be done manually is now fully automated."
This year's Ultra-Clima Award was presented to Frenchman Stephane Olivier, in recognition of his years of experience and achievements as an Ultra-Clima grower. Besides presentations, visits were also organized to KUBO's test center BlueLab, Verkade Climate, and HAWE Cultivation Systems. One of the prominent attendees was Casey Houweling, a key pioneer behind the Ultra-Clima greenhouse concept, which he developed together with KUBO.
The Ultra-Clima Convention aligns perfectly with KUBO's new slogan "For a Growing World". The focus has been on sustainability and efficiency for years. KUBO aims to help growers achieve higher yields with fewer resources so that sustainable cultivation is accessible and profitable.
