The selection was based on its CO2 Delivery Solutions application as a clean technology.
The objective of the virtual clean tech mission, from September 20-23, is to attain a targeted six pre-screened, high-impact business-to-business meetings coordinated by Global BMT Consulting.

“Participation will augment our initial Mexico introductions screened by our Canadian Federal Trade Commissioners earlier in 2021 as well as our penetration of Mexico's protected Ag market by us and our Mexico marketing partner Rancho Nexo,” CO2 vice president of sales and strategic alliances Aaron Archibald said in a statement.
“This is the fourth time our Canadian governments have selected CO2 GRO as a promising Canadian Ag tech (agriculture technology) company to help promote us in international markets.
“We are currently also in competition for other Canadian Trade Commissioner Ag Tech support programs for 2022 in the EU and the Middle East,” he added.
CO2 GRO's proprietary CO2 Delivery Solutions technology is revolutionizing the global 600 billion square foot protected agriculture industry.
It creates a saturated CO2 solution that when misted onto plants provides growers that cannot gas with CO2 the opportunity to increase plant yields by up to 30% and profits by up to 100%.
Applying saturated CO2 also suppresses the development of pathogens such as E.coli and powdery mildew, helping to reduce crop losses.
