Hello Tomorrow

At Crover, we have had an action-packed time these last couple of months and have not had a chance to explain what we have been up to. From here on that changes - you can look forward to more regular and insightful updates from us. The topic of this article in particular is our trip to the Hello Tomorrow 2021 Global Summit that took place earlier this month in Paris. Read on to find out more about our time at Hello Tomorrow and the many successes that we enjoyed while there.


Long before our founder, Lorenzo Conti, and Gianlorenzo De Santis departed for Paris, the newly-formed Crover Marketing Team - comprising several new and talented employees - were asked to help design the display stand. Thousands of big players would be walking past the Crover stall on the show floor so our display needed something outside the box to draw these attendees in. As well as Crover-branded pin badges and stickers, for the stall we also produced new business cards and bespoke 3D-printed Crover keyrings. In the photographs below, there can be seen our Crover stand at Hello Tomorrow, complete with miniature models of the entire grain storage chain process and lastly, a working Crover prototype sitting a typical grain bulk.

#SavingGrains in Paris

Hello Tomorrow’s 2021 Global Summit gathered hundreds of today’s innovators and disruptors together in one location to share their visions for the future of their respective industries and fields. Crover, a dynamic force and innovator in the field of robotics and agri-tech, was selected from among 4000 global applications to be a finalist at Hello Tomorrow’s 2021 Global Summit. And so it was that our founder, Lorenzo Conti, and Gianlorenzo De Santis found themselves in Paris in early December. Throughout the event, they engaged with event attendees and spoke with countless leading lights in several crucial fields. Many great conversations were had at our Crover stand as Lorenzo and Gianlorenzo spoke about the paths we have chosen to get here and where we are going next.


Crover proved a big hit at Hello Tomorrow 2021. Attendees were eager to hear more about our mission to help reduce post-harvest losses and to enable humanity to reach below the surface. Our stand on the show floor and all of the work that went into it helped us promote Crover to a wider international audience than before. The positive reception for Crover did not stop there however. Our founder, Lorenzo Conti took to the floor of the main stage at Hello Tomorrow to deliver a significant address that touched on Crover’s purpose, its ethos and the achievables we are targeting going forward. In the video below, you can watch Crover’s lauded 2021 Hello Tomorrow pitch.

Winner of the 'Food and Agriculture' Track

Thanks to the unique and "ground-swimming" nature of our technology, the panel of judges saw fit to name Crover the winner in the ‘Food and Agriculture’ track, sponsored by EIT Food. So too was Crover recognised as the #1 global Deep-Tech food and Agri-Tech startup of the year. These are prestigious accolades that we will take with us as we continue our journey to help grain storage operators reduce their post-harvest losses.


Looking back at our involvement in Hello Tomorrow’s 2021 Global Summit, Crover’s time there proved an enormous success from start to finish and we are grateful to the entire team at Hello Tomorrow for reaching out to us and letting us be a part of the event. It has ensured that we finish the year 2021 on a high note. 


We are excited to share with you what we have planned for 2022 and rest assured, there will be more frequent updates from us - so please stay tuned and thank you for reading.
