Water Garden Farms, Siemens, and CEAd Form AI-Driven Agriculture Alliance

Water Garden Farms, Siemens, and CEAd have announced a strategic alliance to revolutionize indoor farming with AI and precision agriculture technology, announced in a press release. This collaboration was unveiled at GreenTech Amsterdam 2025 and aims to set a new global standard for sustainable agriculture.

The partnership will commence with the construction of a 500,000-square-foot solar-powered greenhouse in West Virginia. This facility is designed to be the world's most technologically advanced greenhouse of its size, capable of producing 35 million packaged salad units annually while using significantly fewer resources than traditional open field farms.

Siemens will provide the foundational technology architecture through its Siemens Xcelerator platform, enabling scalable and high-performance Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) operations. The digiCEAd platform, a joint initiative by Siemens and CEAd, will offer tailored digital solutions, including digital twin modeling and AI-driven analytics, to enhance operational management and food safety.

This initiative marks the first phase of Water Garden Farms' $500 million expansion plan across the U.S., aiming to establish a new benchmark in indoor farming and environmental sustainability.
