VitalFluid BV is an innovative company based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, specializing in the design, development, and production of Plasma Activated Water (PAW) equipment. Founded in 2014, the company focuses on utilizing PAW for various applications, including agriculture, academic research, food safety, cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and water purification. PAW is created by using water, air, and electricity to generate plasma, which introduces reactive oxygen and nitrogen into the water, enhancing its properties. This natural process mirrors how lightning activates rainwater, promoting nitrogen fixation, a crucial element for plant growth. VitalFluid aims to harness this technology to improve agricultural practices and various industrial applications.

Vivent specializes in developing biosensors that provide growers, breeders, and agrochemical companies with actionable insights derived directly from plants. By leveraging artificial intelligence to interpret plant signaling networks, Vivent enables clients to monitor how plants respond to changing environmental conditions. This capability allows for early detection of abiotic and biotic stressors, offering warnings days in advance of visible symptoms. As a result, growers can optimize their conditions, leading to improved yields and fruit quality, while also implementing more effective and environmentally friendly crop protection strategies. Additionally, Vivent supports plant scientists in accelerating agrochemical product development and enhancing usage recommendations, while breeders can identify beneficial traits in real-time, contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices.
