From institutional reports to international awards, scientific events and media coverage, Meaplant Innovation continues to attract global attention for its patented soilless cultivation technology inspired by Nature.
Selected international reports and publications that strengthen Meaplant Innovation’s scientific credibility, technological value and global positioning.
MEAPLANT INNOVATION was published by the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Council (AFFRC), of Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), within a strategic report prepared by NTT DATA Institute of Management Consulting.
The report presents Meaplant as an Italian soilless cultivation innovation based on a mesh substrate capable of forming suspended water droplets, allowing roots to absorb water and nutrients directly and efficiently.
Meaplant Innovation was featured in the WIPO Patent Landscape Report on Agrifood as a bio-inspired cultivation system designed to bridge traditional soil-based agriculture and advanced soilless techniques.
The report highlights Meaplant’s hydrophobic and chemically inert mesh substrate, inspired by suspended droplets in Nature, capable of holding nutrient solution without absorbing it and making water directly available to plant roots.
Beyond Confcooperative featured Meaplant Innovation within its Agritech section, presenting it as an innovative soilless cultivation system designed for walls, roofs, balconies, terraces and urban spaces.
The article highlights Meaplant’s patented technology, its recognition at the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions, its water-saving potential and its simple use: add water and mineral salts, activate irrigation and let the plants grow.
Meaplant Innovation has also attracted attention across digital platforms, where creators and communities explain the system, its water-saving potential and its role in the future of sustainable cultivation.
This public interest strengthens the perception of Meaplant as an innovation that is technically relevant, easy to understand and memorable.
Meaplant Innovation has been presented in prestigious environments dedicated to science, invention, biomimicry and sustainable innovation.
A prestigious scientific event organized at the City of Science and Industry in Paris, dedicated to technical and scientific innovations inspired by Nature.
In this creative and technological atmosphere, our innovation found the ideal place to be shown to the general public. Our revolutionary idea was born by observing Nature: drops of water suspended on a spider’s web opened a new path and inspired a completely innovative soilless cultivation substrate.
In our substrate, drops of water are suspended on the threads as on a spider web after the rain, remaining totally available for the plants.
Meaplant Innovation was featured in the Biomim’Expo book, presenting the bio-inspired origin of the technology and the natural observation behind the system.
