"Alesca has localized key agritech research and development and manufacturing capabilities in the UAE. For Aramco's flagship vertical farming project in Dammam, Alesca manufactured the modular structures in Ajman, assembled the indoor growing systems in Dubai, and completed the installation and commissioning in Saudi Arabia. Alesca is also partnering with major real estate developers (Emaar, Aldar, Sustainable City, Masdar City, Expo City) in the UAE to grow fresh produce directly in residential communities and commercial properties to significantly reduce logistical miles, food waste, and resource use."
