Agtira and Greenfood to build large-scale greenhouse in Boden

Boden Foodtech company Agtira has signed an agreement with food group Greenfood to build a large-scale greenhouse farm in Boden. The agreement is worth up to SEK 285 million.

The planned facility will be about 10,000 square meters in size and will be heated with surplus energy from Hive's server hall. This will realize the plans for industrial symbiosis between data halls and cultivation activities.

Agtira and Hive Blockchain's Swedish company Bikupa datacenter in Boden already have a letter of intent that allows Agtira to use the surplus heat from the server hall for a greenhouse establishment. With the new agreement that Agtira has now signed with Greenfood, the greenhouse in Boden will be the first facility in their Upcycling business area, where both Agtira and Greenfood see great opportunities.

"We have long had a great deal of interest and a desire to establish ourselves in Boden. We have prepared for it and now we hope that we can get started and build as soon as possible," says Pontus Lamberg, Vice President of Agtira.
