Jack Ma invests in Agrotech startup, driving farming innovations

Chinese business magnate Jack Ma, known for co-founding Alibaba, has resurfaced after three years and made headlines with a surprising move into the agrotech sector. South China Morning Post reported that Ma's company, Hangzhou Dajingtou No. 22 Arts and Culture, invested a 10% stake in the agrotech startup '1.8 Meters Marine Technology' founded on 20 July in Hangzhou.


In 2020, Ma faced regulatory scrutiny for criticizing China's financial regulatory system, prompting him to retreat from the public eye. During his absence, Ma focused on studying agrotech, traveling to Spain, the Netherlands, Japan, and Thailand to learn about agriculture and technology's intersection with environmental issues.


In May this year, he took a teaching position at Tokyo College to research sustainable agriculture and food production. Although he stepped down from Alibaba in 2019, Ma remains involved with the Jack Ma Foundation, and his recent investment in the agrotech startup signals his commitment to the agricultural sector.


Ma's entry into agrotech brings promise, leveraging his entrepreneurial vision and expertise to drive advancements in farming practices. With his financial backing and insights from the tech world, the industry anticipates positive developments and a focus on sustainability.


As the agrotech startup gains a prominent ally in Jack Ma, the world eagerly awaits the potential impact on agriculture and environmental progress. Ma's involvement in this venture demonstrates his continuous pursuit of innovation and commitment to shaping a sustainable future beyond the realm of technology.
