The scholarship links two things the team at Ultimation is passionate about – STEM education and vertical farming.

As a leader in conveyor technologies and automation, we understand the need to support today’s students who will be leading tomorrow’s work in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

As a key supplier of vertical farming conveyors, we see the potential in this rapidly growing business sector. Our technologies are already helping large-scale facilities across the United States and the Middle East achieve their potential. These vertical farms are growing food more efficiently, without pesticides, during longer growing seasons and, often, in urban areas.

Last year’s scholarship winner was Jonathan Wright, a computer engineering student at Utah State University. Jonathan shares the Ultimation team’s enthusiasm for vertical farming. His idea uses a gravity-driven system and robotics that revolves around separate towers that can move independently of each other in response to the changing needs of the plants.
