Mehmet Emekli, Co- Founder of Smart Farms

The AgriNext Conference, set to take place on November 13-14, 2024, in Dubai, is proud to announce Mehmet Emekli, Co- Founder of Smart Farms, as one of its distinguished speakers. Emekli, a married father of a daughter, holds a degree in business and economics and transitioned into agricultural entrepreneurship in 2014 after a long career in education. He played a pivotal role in establishing the first vertical farming field in Turkey and has since expanded his reach both domestically and internationally, providing consultancy services and setting up numerous production fields specialising in soilless agriculture. Smart Farms, under his leadership, currently operates the largest production field in Turkey, located in Istanbul, and is in the process of launching a groundbreaking vertical farming venture in 2024.

Revolutionary Wireless Monitoring and Control System by Smart Farms

Smart Farms has developed a revolutionary wireless monitoring and control system for remotely located irrigation pumps and environmental monitoring devices. This system provides farmers with real-time, actionable information regarding the status of their equipment, enabling precise control over water usage and significantly improving profitability. Moreover, Smart Farms' systems have applications beyond agriculture, including quarry sites and mines, where they enhance safety and compliance reporting while automating water-related activities for cost savings.

The AgriNext Conference aims to bring together leading experts, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders in the agriculture and technology sectors to explore groundbreaking innovations and foster collaborations. The event will feature engaging sessions, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities, providing attendees with valuable insights into the future of agriculture.

The Vision of the AgriNext Conference
