DENSO and FoodVentures will strengthen their collaboration to globally deploy the One-Stop Solution

Japan’s DENSO CORPORATION and FoodVentures announced that DENSO has acquired a partial equity stake in FoodVentures and made FoodVentures a consolidated subsidiary. Through this capital partnership, DENSO and FoodVentures will strengthen their collaboration to globally deploy the One-Stop Solution, which enables stable and predictable agricultural production through an integrated approach.

In recent years, changes in social conditions such as the progression of climate change, a declining farming population in some areas, and the growing importance of food security have accelerated efforts around the world to secure agricultural production and improve food self-sufficiency. As a result, new entrants into the agricultural sector are emerging, and there is a growing global demand to realise sustainably local-grown agricultural production.

Since 2017, DENSO has positioned agriculture as a new pillar of its business and, in 2022, further strengthened this commitment by incorporating it into its articles of incorporation. Leveraging technologies developed through automotive component manufacturing, including production process design, sensing, and image processing, DENSO has been advancing environmental control and automation technologies for greenhouse horticulture.

In addition, DENSO has been strengthening collaboration with partners that possess expertise in greenhouses, seeds and seedlings, and cultivation technologies, a key element for sustainable agricultural production. In 2023, DENSO welcomed Certhon, a provider of advanced horticultural greenhouses, into the DENSO Group. In 2025, DENSO also welcomed Axia, a developer and distributor of tomato seeds and seedlings, and entered into a joint development agreement with Delphy, a global cultivation consulting company.
