A leading hotel in the emirate, Radisson Blu Dubai Deira Creek has partnered with GreenTech, a Czech start-up, to set up the hotel’s popular seafood restaurant Fish Market.
GreenTech is the first in the Czech Republic to produce hydroponic containers, a technological solution to enable local cultivation of vegetables, micro greens and small fruits anywhere in the world.
Dmitrij Lipovskij, CEO of GreenTech said: “The company was founded by Karokina Pumprova, Milan Soucek and I with the aim of producing hydroponic growing systems. The main benefits of which include up to 95 per cent savings in water consumption, a significant reduction in transport distances, the possibility of growing without protective sprays and rapid plant growth.”
The start-up company displayed their innovation at the Czech Republic pavilion this year during Dubai’s Expo 2020. It was there that Hydroponic farm caught the eye of Jan Hanak, a Czech national and General Manager of Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek. With Radisson Hotel group’s commitment to net zero in mind, Jan was keen to implement the technology at the landmark property.
Despite being the first five-star hotel to open in Dubai in 1975, Radisson Blu Dubai Deira Creek is already leading the way in its commitment to sustainability with modern technology and solutions. The hotel won the MENA Green Building Award last year after implementing solar panel boilers.
