1.0 Executive Summary

The Company: Glowscapes Company provides varieties of vegetables in an


environmentally manner with the use of LED lights in aquaponics system. Established at late
2010, where the Company invented AquaLED technology that will help to improve the
farming system in most efficient ways.

The Company is on its process to provide affordable AquaLED technology in the market and
wishes to help our native farmers in the process of enhancing their farming system. Does this
technology can be a tool to inspire the young agriculturist to adopt and put themselves in the
line of developing our agricultural industries and technologies into sustainable production of
crops and agricultural needs?

Glowscapes Company has been experience difficulties to provide efficient availability of


energy that the technology can adopt. During the past six months of treatment to improve the
technology, many scenarios have happened in the company that have been a way to push in a
times like this. Modern aquaponics farming is a step for promoting the technology that the
company had.

The Market: The country’s knowledge is raw for knowing the benefits of the modern
farming system. Well-known products can be found only in parts of Asia where agriculture is
rich with technology-based support; however, the Company technology is a stepping stone to
advocate modern aquaponics systems to the mass media that will benefit them to ease their
problems on having quality vegetables and fishes as well.

Marketing Strategy: Management has been the voice and backbone of the Company to
advertise the AquaLED technology to the world. Graphically, the new generation’s life is
dependent to social media interactions and every advertisement or promotion can be done
with that. The Company will be able to advertise the AquaLED by showing its capability to
nation by video promotion, through flyers and some Webinar that will enhance the
knowledge of the viewers to adopt the modern farming system.

Products and Services: The AquaLED is inspired by the hydroponic system that is used in
modern farming system and that is well-known in other countries. The Company adopted
these type of changes but in eco-friendlier way. The Company seeks to consume less water
supply and give them a path to pursue Aquaponics system. Globally the market has these
type of technology in modern farming system but the Company goal is to help their country
to produce quality vegetables in rural or urban area.

In rural area, the space where they can plant is relatively small. The Company wishes to give
comfortability to their future customers so, they adopt the vertical design of farming. This
type of design is commonly found in Singapore. The Company will enhance the vertical
design and turn it into aquaponics system that has LED lights above/below it. These LED
lights will be a parameter to save more energy, to have less water usage and more
importantly, for the benefit of plants to absorb the light they needed in order to produce
systematic photosynthesis that will amaze the world.

Management: The management section showcases the best results and the capacity of the
AquaLED to ensure its stability on experiencing different natural phenomena wherein our
country is most affected.

Financial Status: The Company is being funded by Mr. Bryan Valenzuela and some bank
loans to create this Company. Although, this is a necessary to step-up in the agricultural
industry that the country should adopt some the changes in modern agriculture.
Glowscapes Company Vertical Aquaponics 4

Use of Funds: The Company plans to borrow up to ₱1,000,000.00 to fit in the process of
creating the AquaLED technology. This includes labor, manufacturing, equipment,
agricultural supplies, and other needed resources to meet the demand in the market.
