CubicFarms’ HydroGreen has been selected as one of five finalists for the 24th annual SXSW Innovation Awards in the New Economy category.
The 2022 SXSW Innovation Awards is an amazing collection of 65 of the world’s most forward-thinking digital projects. CubicFarms is one of two Canadian companies recognized this year with Montreal’s The Infinite also shortlisted.
