Applications for Growing Further 2024/2025 are now open! Building on last year's success, we continue to seek applications from innovative companies aiming to make a significant impact on the grocery retail supply chain. With a total cash prize fund of €100,000, Growing Further encourages advancements across the entire supply chain—from production to waste management—to foster a sustainable future for the grocery retail industry. The award was developed by the Greenman Group, Europe’s only fully integrated grocery anchored real estate investment and fund management group. The Greenman Group, which consists of ten closely aligned businesses across six nations and employing over 150 professionals, remains deeply rooted in the grocery real estate sector. Over recent years, our strategic focus has broadened to include sustainable practices and innovation. Our funds currently own grocery real estate valued at approximately €1.35 billion in France, Germany, and Poland. In response to the evolving demands of retail systems and environmental sustainability, we are committed to achieving Paris-aligned net-zero targets and transitioning our funds to Article 9 status. Our proactive approach includes diversifying into tech-enabled ventures such as a large-scale vertical farm, a renewable energy utility, and pilot projects in carbon capture and augmented reality.
