According to Aaron, “Saber and his co-founder Maryam, are extremely humble, hard-working, and their technology is changing the way farmers can manage their crops and challenges. I’ve been fortunate to be involved over the years, and this new role formalizes the synergies between the two companies I serve, that essentially serve the same market. I’m pleased to be able to add to these technologies to the value proposition that Viscon Group offers its’ customers to take them even further forward with Ecoation’s advanced platform”.
