Welcome back to Recharge: Talking New Energy. For this episode, we had Mathew Howe, the CEO and founder of Grobrix join us. Grobrix is in the agritech space, and a Singapore based, very unique and innovative start-up, which is essentially providing vertical indoor farms to the business community across the Singapore landscape. 

Mathew had quite an extensive and successful career in banking before he decided to quit and build what he thinks is going to be the ‘LEGO’ for vertical farming. Mathew had a lot of challenges with making this transition and journey, and didn’t think at all that it would be the success that only after two years it has become today. 

There’s still a lot of learning that he’s undergoing. There’s been ups and downs, highs and lows. There’s some advice to people who either want to start their own venture or make a career transition, and Mathew has a lot of pretty honest and genuine insights into what’s required. 

It’s a super cool business, and this conversation is a little different, getting someone from the agritech community, but this is certainly within the world of new energies. There’s a lot there that people would be really interested and intrigued by, by looking at Mathew’s transition and also what Grobrix is doing. Hope you will enjoy the conversation and take care.
