Malaysian agritech company Agroz, which designs, builds, manages, and operates indoor Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) vertical farms, will introduce its upcoming ‘Agroz Robotics’ technology at the Fortune Innovation Forum 2025. Agroz Robotics will integrate AI and automation to enhance scalability, efficiency, and sustainability, supporting Agroz’s commitment to advance intelligent food production.
The Fortune Innovation Forum 2025 convenes global business leaders, policymakers, and innovators to explore transformative technologies that can shape the future of industries. Agroz’s participation highlights its growing focus on AI-driven agriculture and sustainable food systems as it expands internationally. The event will on November from 17th to 18th, 2025 in Kuala Lumpur.
Agroz’s Operations
The company sells fresh produce to wholesale distributors and major retailers in Malaysia, including supermarket brands like AEON and Village Grocer.
According to Agroz, the company operates CEA vertical farms with local communities to provide pesticide free, clean, fresh and nutritious rich vegetables directly to consumers and businesses. Agroz’s operations are also focused on educating the public on how its vegetables are grown.

Once CEA vertical farms are fully operational and optimized, the company sells them to potential buyers, fully equipped with its proprietary Agroz OS. The system is equipped with digitally automated hardware systems, and software solutions enabling email and communication systems for management of vertical farm conditions. It works on established procedures to oversee daily operations and maintain all integrated systems.
Agroz’s AI driven nutrient control optimizes plant growth and resource efficiency, while automated water and climate control systems regulate irrigation and environmental conditions to maximize yield with minimal resource use. Additionally, sustainable LED lighting provides energy-efficient, customizable light spectra that promote faster and healthier plant growth.
Its software, powered by AI and Microsoft Cloud, enables real time farm monitoring through IoT sensors and automated growth optimization driven by AI insights. The platform also integrates enterprise resource planning (ERP) and financial tracking via QuickBooks, while allowing remote farm management through a mobile application.
We look forward to unveiling our Agroz Robotics technology, which is our vision for the future of farming—intelligent, automated, and sustainable. We are excited to showcase it on the Fortune stage and demonstrate how technology can redefine food resilience worldwide.
The company operates a 10,021-square-foot indoor CEA vertical farm in Kota Damansara and a 5,239-square-foot EduFarm at AEON Mall Alpha Angle in Kuala Lumpur. According to Agroz, the EduFarm recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records as the country’s largest indoor vertical farm in a shopping mall.
In June 2024, the EduFarm received myGAP certification from Malaysia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security for its pesticide-free production of 20 vegetable varieties, including kale, arugula, and butterhead lettuce.
Expanding Technological and Sustainable Capabilities
As Agroz continues to expand its footprint in sustainable agriculture, the integration of AI, robotics, and data-driven technologies positions the company to scale efficiently while maintaining environmental responsibility.
The integration of AI-driven robotics provides the company with the opportunity to scale its controlled environment agriculture operations more efficiently. Automation of tasks such as seeding, harvesting, and packaging can reduce labor costs while maintaining consistent quality.
By combining robotics with real-time data analytics from its OS platform, the company can also optimize nutrient delivery, irrigation, and climate control across multiple sites, enabling centralized management and rapid expansion without proportional increases in workforce.
This technology can also enhance sustainability by improving resource efficiency and reducing waste, creating a replaceable and scalable model for future vertical farms as it expands its presence in global markets.
By optimizing resource use and reducing waste through precision automation, the company aims to make high-yield, low-impact food production more accessible worldwide. Its growing network of vertical farms and partnerships signals strong potential for global expansion, aligning technological innovation with a commitment to sustainable and responsible farming practices.
