Engaging in valuable discussions with technically skilled professionals is a cornerstone of innovation and progress in any field. These interactions foster a deeper understanding of complex issues, enabling the exchange of diverse perspectives and the development of creative solutions. When communicating with technically adept colleagues, it's crucial to approach conversations with respect and an open mind. Listening actively and asking insightful questions can uncover nuances that might otherwise be overlooked. Additionally, leveraging their expertise can lead to more informed decision-making and enhanced project outcomes. Building a culture that values these discussions encourages continuous learning and strengthens collaboration. If these highly technically skilled people are also fantastic persons... the feeling is natural and immediate and this is the case of Christa. Let's continue to embrace and nurture these conversations, driving our collective success forward. #aseptichandling #knowledge #future #Fedegari #Stopperprocessor

🚀 Dev After Party Vibes! 🚀 At Agwa, we believe innovation doesn’t stop at 5 PM. Every few weeks, our team comes together for an epic Dev After Party. It’s a time when creativity flows freely, and we dive into exciting projects that push the boundaries of our hydroponic tech. In yesterday’s session, we came up with two fantastic features: one to help our support team and another to assist our technicians. Both will significantly boost efficiency and enhance our service quality. From experimenting with new ideas to refining our code, these sessions are all about making our AgwaGarden even better. And what’s a dev party without some 🍕 pizza and 🍺 beer? These after-hours brainstorms not only enhance our product but also foster an incredible team spirit. The passion and enthusiasm of my colleagues never cease to amaze me. Here’s to innovation, teamwork, and a little bit of fun! 🌿💡 #Agwa #Innovation #Teamwork #StartUpLife #Hydroponics #DevAfterParty

The beverage industry is not for the faint of heart. It’s expensive. It’s competitive. But it’s exhilarating! About two years ago we faced an inflection point. Become profitable or die! This meant completely changing everything about the company. We vertically integrated and bought our own manufacturing facility. We downsized our team which had grown larger than our sales could support. We refined our marketing spend to become very efficient yet still effective. We revised our pricing strategy. We reevaluated our innovation process and pipeline. Any one of these things is difficult to do. It’s like changing an airplane’s parts while in flight. Doing them all at the same time is a complete company turnaround. I couldn’t be more proud of the Koia team that made all happen. While it wasn’t a “fun” process, it was the right one, and the company and brand are the strongest they have ever been because of it. #drinkkoia #teamwork #turnaround #profitability

We have a sizeable chunk of exciting news to share: VLAIO, the cool folks who bring the Flemish government’s innovation ambitions to life, granted Those Vegan Cowboys 3 million euro to help scale up Margaret’s casein production with lightin’ speed 🔥 Subsidies like these are crucial in kickstarting sustainable technologies - see where it took green energy, for instance. We wouldn’t be where we are now on our wild cowless cheese ride, if not for the previous support we were honored to receive, in part from VLAIO. Nor would we be this fast. And every day counts, because cowboy jokes aside, there are lives on stake here. 🐮🐄 You can understand we are a grateful bunch of cowboys: VLAIO’s research subsidy won’t just give our Margaret wings - it will give her jet power! Hats off from the whole team at Those Vegan Cowboys. We promise we won’t spend it all on candy. #vlaio #thosevegancowboys #duurzaamvoedsel #foodinnovation
