Toward an Agri-Tech Cluster in Japan
～Realization of a Profitable Agricultural City～
What is DEEPVALLEY?
DEEPVALLEY is an initiative by Fukaya City to gather various knowledge and technologies to the region, create agri-tech solutions, address Japan’s agricultural challenges, and foster the development of companies and human resources that will contribute to the future growth of Japanese industry. Fukaya City, located in Saitama Prefecture, is one of Japan’s leading vegetable production areas, producing a diverse range of crops such as leeks and broccoli.
DEEPVALLEY has interacted with more than 290 agri-tech companies over the past five years and will further expand its globalization efforts with a partnership with GRAND FARM in North Dakota, U.S.A., starting in 2024.
