- Freya’s flagship product, the Aeroframe, is a 3D plant-growing system for greenhouses.
- The Aeroframe utilizes advanced fog-based irrigation, a highly efficient method for plant growth.
- Freya’s technology has demonstrated success in various projects, including a World Bank-funded initiative in Djibouti and collaborations with a South African biotech company
Freya Cultivation Systems, an Agritech company pioneering innovative cultivation methods to boost greenhouse productivity, has secured €500,000 in Seed funding.
This investment will fuel the company’s growth and accelerate the market adoption of its groundbreaking technology.
Founded in 2018 by Gediminas Kudirka, a PhD in Agronomy, Freya has emerged as a leader in fog-based cultivation techniques.
Dr. Kudirka’s deep understanding of plant biology, cultivated through years of research and experimentation, has driven the development of Freya’s flagship product: The Aeroframe.
The Aeroframe is a revolutionary plant-growing system designed for commercial greenhouses. Using three-dimensional growing surfaces effectively doubles the usable cultivation area within the same floor space. This optimized space utilization and the company’s advanced fog-based irrigation system significantly reduce per-plant costs, enabling growers to potentially triple their profits.
Compared to traditional methods, the Aeroframe can deliver up to double the yield for a wide range of crops, including strawberries, lettuce, herbs, and tomatoes, explains the Freya team.
Addressing a Critical Need
CEO Lukas Bartusevicius emphasizes the urgent need for innovative greenhouse solutions:
“As global demand for fresh vegetables surges, exceeding the production capacity of traditional field agriculture, greenhouse cultivation becomes increasingly vital.”

Freya will empower growers to achieve unprecedented yield improvements and meet the growing market demands.
A Focus on Innovation and Sustainability
Freya aims to establish a robust innovation ecosystem within the Lithuanian Controlled Environment Agriculture sector. The company’s technology, including its patented titanium ultrasonic irrigators that convert nutrient solutions into fine mist with optimally sized droplets, has already demonstrated significant success:
• Global Impact: Freya’s technology is currently employed in a World Bank-funded tomato cultivation project in Djibouti, East Africa, and is also utilized by a biotech company in South Africa.
• Proven Success: Freya has completed several pilot projects, validating the effectiveness of its technology and its ability to deliver significant yield increases.
Growing plants in fog is one of the most efficient and effective cultivation methods, states Dr. Gediminas Kudirka, Founder of Freya. While this has been recognized for some time, widespread adoption has been hindered by limitations in existing technology.
