Co. Overview
About us
Virgo Global Inc. is a local company specializing in vertical and sustainable agriculture using our exclusive controlled environment rotary drum system. This cutting-edge technology is a revolution in the paradigm of how food is grown. The artificial intelligence behind Virgo's technology enables us to optimize not only product consistency and quality, but also the entire customer experience, with its many advantages offered throughout the production cycle.
Our Mission
Our expertise of clean and sustainable agro-technology has resulted in the perfection and optimization of a fully automated agricultural production solution integrated within a building. This system is designed to set up an efficient production cycle that maximizes resource availability while preserving ecosystems in occupied habitats.
We aspire to become a prime partner in the local and international food industry by introducing new agricultural technologies that will meet the challenges of food self-sufficiency, contribute to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide a solution to the impacts of climate change.
Our Values
Climate issues
Virgo is sensitive towards the global climate incidents that are currently multiplying at a frantic pace. We remain convinced that major changes and new technological approaches such as our technology must be implemented within the world's major industries in order to meet present and future environmental challenges.
Environnement
Virgo wishes to participate in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by proposing an agricultural technique with a very limited carbon footprint. This index measures the impact of an activity on its environment, and more specifically on carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
Population
Population growth forecasts for the next thirty years indicate a trend towards sustained growth. As a result, many regions of the world will experience suburbanization. Virgo is proposing a solution to this challenge by offering the establishment of Urban Farms that will complement the local agricultural offer without affecting producers located in rural areas.
Agri-Food
Virgo produces top-quality leafy vegetables and selected fresh berries. To achieve this, we continually invest to optimize our technology and work closely with our teams of agronomists and engineers in order to optimize production quality, product freshness, anticipate new consumer trends, and reduce the time between harvest and delivery.
Governance
We ensure that our customers and distributors meet all our quality standards. We also take great care in selecting our suppliers and partners to ensure the consistent and successful use of our technology. In addition, we provide training and follow-up for our customers, partners and suppliers, all of whom are key to achieving our mission.
Eco-responsible
Virgo believes in eco-responsibility, and strives to develop farming solutions that limit the consumption of natural resources and encourage their reuse and recycling, while reducing the need for out-of-season imports, thereby promoting local production.
Branding Background
Virgo stands for the constellation of Virgo the maiden, due to its association with agriculture and farming by the first sedentary societies that occupies the region of the Fertile Crescent.
In Greek Mythology the Virgo constellation is associated with Demeter, the Goddess of wheat and agriculture as the brightest star of the constellation is named Spica, meaning ‘Ear of Grain’ in Latin.
+
Our signature is a timeless, yet elegant interpretation of this historic tale which forges today’s agricultural activities in societies around the planet.
The main light of our device shines constantly on our production just like the Spica star did during the growing process until it was the time for harvesting.
