Core offering

VEK Adviesgroep is a Dutch consultancy founded in 1971 that designs, engineers, and builds turnkey greenhouse and controlled environment agriculture facilities. The firm delivers climate-adaptive greenhouse projects from blueprint through operational handover, integrating energy, water, and nutrient systems with climate-adaptive architecture for government agencies, commercial growers, and institutional investors worldwide.

Product overview

VEK Adviesgroep is a service-based company offering a unified portfolio of greenhouse design, engineering, and build services rather than a software product. The core offering centers on Turnkey Greenhouse Projects, which encompass Design & Build, Climate Adaptive Greenhouse Design, and Procurement & Contractor Oversight as interconnected phases. These are supported by Technical & Commercial Feasibility Studies that apply the Assessment of Possibilities (AoP) methodology, and complemented by specialized services including Agri-Architectural Masterplanning, Energy/Water/Nutrient Systems Integration, Grower Integration & Offtake Planning, and Custom R&D Pilots & Training Academies. The services work as an integrated continuum from early feasibility through operational handover, with the company providing design intelligence and technical governance throughout the project lifecycle.

Others

• Ridder Group: Dutch supplier of greenhouse technology including screening, climate systems, and water treatment. Comparable to VEK as a Netherlands-based CEA enabler, though it supplies components rather than turnkey builds.
• Priva: Dutch provider of climate control, process automation, and software for greenhouses and CEA. Adjacent rather than direct competitor: VEK integrates with technology suppliers like Priva when designing systems; useful for mapping the CEA value chain.
• Royal Brinkman: Major Dutch horticultural supplier providing equipment, substrates, and services to greenhouse growers globally. Comparable ecosystem participant to VEK's Dutch CEA cluster, though it supplies inputs rather than designing facilities.
