Egyptian agribusiness firm Linah Farms has invested $1.05 million in climate tech startup NoorNation, marking a shift in their partnership. NoorNation, founded in 2021 by Ragy Ramadan and Mohamed Khaled, specializes in decentralized clean energy and water infrastructure for agricultural businesses and off-grid communities in Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Their flagship product, LifeBox, is a solar-powered system providing electricity and water for irrigation, desalination, and other uses in areas lacking conventional infrastructure. Linah Farms' investment follows their collaboration on solar-powered irrigation projects at Linah's agricultural operations in Bahariya Oasis, at Linah's agricultural school, and at Sultan Gardens Resort in Sharm El Sheikh.
The funding will support NoorNation's development of a pay-per-use solar irrigation model aimed at reducing farmers' reliance on diesel-powered pumping systems, ultimately lowering their fuel costs.
