Cerescon is a very young, fast developing high tech start up focusing on design, industrial, and manufacturing industries. The company's slogan "Harvesting Innovation" encapsulates its core mission, which involves developing, producing, and marketing a full automatic asparagus harvesting machine. This innovation seeks to address the labor-intensive nature of asparagus harvesting, a task typically carried out by thousands of manual workers during the season.
Founded in 2014, Cerescon has achieved a significant milestone by successfully proving the feasibility of a full automatic asparagus harvesting machine. This was accomplished through collaboration with Wageningen University of Research and key asparagus farmers. The company's groundbreaking concept has the potential to revolutionize asparagus harvesting, akin to the impact the combine had on cereal production in the 20th century.
One of the crucial focus areas for Cerescon is scaling up to transform this innovation into a successful product and elevate the company to new heights. With the financing now in place, the company faces the challenge of capitalizing on this opportunity and navigating the path to sustainable growth and success.
