Photosynthetic Future - Its subsidiary has announced the completion of an angel round of financing of over ten million yuan.

The subsidiary of Photosynthetic Future, "Natural Answer Super Plant Factory", announced the completion of an angel round financing totaling more than 10 million yuan. This financing will be used to initiate the construction of the first phase of the 300-mu industrial park of Photosynthetic Future, led by "Yanzhao Garden" as the main investor. This is the fifth financing in the Photosynthetic Future system.

The Future of Artificial Organic Substrate

Photosynthetic Future is the pioneering enterprise that earliest brought artificial organic substrate into the capital's vision, incubated by Tsinghua University x-lab, and is committed to promoting the product research and development and market promotion of artificial organic substrate.

It is also the winner of Zhongguancun U30 of the year, the award-winning enterprise of HICOOL Competition, the member of the 14th batch of the AAMA Cradle Program, the member of the first batch of Tsinghua University Meiling Future Science and Technology Innovators, and the YGT annual winning enterprise.

In soil cultivation, pesticides are indispensable, and in hydroponics, chemical fertilizers are necessary. Even in the technical field of artificial substrate, there are differences between non-biodegradable and biodegradable substrates, and the former is also inseparable from chemical fertilizers. The technology applied by Photosynthetic Future can provide nutrient elements for plants for up to 8 years through the degradation of the substrate itself, and the 7:3 water-air ratio and substrate strength can provide a perfect growth environment for plants.

Photosynthetic Future first launched the ultra-thin modular cultivation product, which has a broad application scenario in the fields of garden city construction, indoor agriculture, and three-dimensional greening.

After this financing, Photosynthetic Future will release an artificial organic substrate three-dimensional greening product with a single-square-meter price of only 400 yuan. Truly enabling thousands of households to enjoy the fun brought by organic planting technology.

The organic, pesticide-free, and simple and clean planting experience has subverted the market perception. Even in the current immature market, Photosynthetic Future has cumulatively sold more than 1.5 million planting units and products, leading the industry. This is mainly due to the wide variety of species that Photosynthetic Future's planting products adhere to, that is, a substrate can be compatible with almost all plant varieties without the need for additional chemical fertilizers.

The planting method without adding chemical fertilizers and not using pesticides predicts the public's attention to food safety and caters to the spiritual needs of young people who hope to get rid of involution and yearn for nature.

Photosynthetic Future has also been applied in many landmark projects, such as Beijing Daxing International Airport and Zhuhai Hengqin Port of Entry, etc.

The biodegradable artificial substrate that provides nutrients is thoroughly and profoundly changing the agriculture, forestry and horticulture industry.

Reflection on Plant Factory

The currently popular plant factory in China is the hydroponic shelf-type plant factory, whose disadvantages are the high investment cost, the large facility area, and the reliance on the precision of later management and operation. The technical background of "chemical fertilizer vegetables" also makes the high price less acceptable to the mass consumer market.

In terms of technology and management experience, most of the domestic hydroponic plant factories come from Japan or Europe, which is not consistent with the geographical characteristics and public needs of our country.

Based on the above situation, Photosynthetic Future actively researches and designs a local plant factory that is more suitable for the actual situation in our country. A plant factory that is organic, safe, miniaturized, low-cost, high-yield, and compatible with all varieties is gradually taking shape. With a firm confidence in the technical route and the experience accumulated from years of in-depth practice, it brings a more imaginative and China's own "Super Plant Factory" to the market.

In 2025, Photosynthetic Future will release the "Natural Answer Super Plant Factory" solution in the form of targeted invitations. And this solution will be replicated to the periphery of each core city.

300-mu Industrial Park

The total area of the 300-mu industrial park is equivalent to the size of 2 Forbidden Cities and can accommodate 28 football fields. In this park, the following will be constructed: high-standard fully automatic greenhouses, winter warm sheds, product production lines, North China centralized warehouse, agricultural tourism homestays, and multiple laboratories (plant tissue culture laboratory, breeding laboratory, electrification laboratory of plant factory, substrate formula optimization laboratory, space cultivation laboratory, plant AI laboratory, etc.), dedicated to building a whole industrial chain park based on the new-quality productivity.

The First Financing After Seven Years

It has been seven years since the last financing. However, contrary to the widespread speculation outside, it is not that Photosynthetic Future cannot raise funds, but that it is extremely firm in the choice of the enterprise's development and operation route. Due to the inconsistency between the core resources of the investors and the direction of the enterprise's development, Photosynthetic Future has rejected two investments in the past seven years.

Photosynthetic Future does not want to be a flash in the pan in the capital market, but rather wants to be a determined marathon runner on the entrepreneurial road. It focuses on deepening technology, pays attention to the user experience of products, keeps learning, keeps thinking, refuses to follow the trend and imitate, knows what is correct, and knows which persistence is long-lasting.
