Nikhil Patil, CEO

We are in the business of connecting people to what and who matters most to them, when and how they want to.”

It is this crucial and pioneering role in Malta’s communications industry that sets GO Plc apart as a pillar of modern society within the central Mediterranean archipelago nation, based on a tradition dating back to 1975 with the establishment of Telemalta, the country’s first national telecommunications company.

“Today, at GO Plc, I have the privilege of leading one of the largest providers of telecommunication services in Malta and Cyprus,” opens CEO, Nikhil Patil.

GO Plc’s ongoing growth and success have been built on a focused strategy aimed at delivering worldclass service in terms of infrastructure and customer experience.

“As a business leader, I believe that a strong purpose, backed by empowered people, drives long-term performance. Our purpose goes

beyond the provision of products and services or the roll-out of digital infrastructure; it is defined by the digital transformation taking place across societies and focuses on the impact it wants to have on those societies in Malta and beyond,” outlines Patil.

“Naturally, I believe this is a very exciting space to work in, whatever you are doing, because you can tangibly see how you are adding value to businesses and people’s lives.”

EME OUTLOOK: HOW DO YOU EMPOWER YOUR STAFF AND RECOGNISE THE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THEY MAKE?

NIKHIL PATIL , CEO: “We may be a technology company, but we are a people company first. Our people are our biggest asset. As CEO I am constantly working on fostering a culture that empowers our employees to experience deep learning, try new things, take risks, collaborate, and become energised by the growth of their professional lives. Everyone at the company is empowered and encouraged to act like an owner. Our motto is to ask for forgiveness and not permission.”

UNRIVALLED SERVICE ACROSS MALTA

As the nation’s leading communications services company, and as the first quad-play provider in Malta, GO Plc provides mobile, fixed line, internet and TV services to more than 500,000 customers nationwide.

In addition to this, GO Plc provides unrivalled services to the Maltese business community, including cloud services, roaming services, data networking solutions, business IP services, and managed services.

“We have achieved this by investing heavily in our Fibre-to-the-Home infrastructure, being the first and only Maltese operator to have access to three submarine cables connecting the islands to the web and as the only national operator with a fully integrated fixed, mobile network for a seamless experience,” explains Patil.

“We are also currently in the process of rolling out a 5G network across the nation. We plan to have nationwide coverage by the end of 2023,” he continues.

The growth and success of GO Plc have been built on a focused strategy aimed at delivering quality service in terms of infrastructure and customer experience.

“We are constantly striving to simplify our product portfolio to the benefit of our customers, allowing them to build their own product bundle through the mix and match system to suit individual needs,” Patil expands.

GO Plc’s purpose is to drive a digital Malta where no one is left behind. The company lives and delivers this purpose by investing in technology that guarantees connectivity to Malta and beyond, by providing services that are built around its community’s digital needs, and finally by investing

Alberta

Fast approaching its half centenary of operations, Alberta began its legacy with a small operation, providing fire and safety solutions to the public. In just under 50 years, the organisation has grown from strength to strength and has now expanded internationally, servicing some of the largest brands, working on the biggest events and delivering massive projects in the global arena.

A reputation built on success

As Malta’s largest fire and security firm, our group is dedicated to delivering excellence to every customer, whether they are personal, corporate or government institutions and associations.

Aligned with the best in the global arena

It has always been important to Alberta’s leadership team that the company’s staff complement is not only highly trained and talented, but that they are also empowered with best-in-class accreditations.

The company invests and reinvests year on year in certifications, making sure it’s aligned to the highest international standards, that’s why Alberta was the first company outside the UK and Ireland to achieve LPCB certifications. It takes hard work to be a leading provider in this industry and service multiple market verticals at the same time.

A vast service offering

We have continuously monitored our industry to identify best-in-class products and expand our service offering to ensure we can cater to the demands of our personal and corporate customers alike. Our portfolio is continuously growing as we find new solutions that can deliver excellence without fault. We can provide tailored solutions for the largest hotel or hospital, to the cosiest of homes.

Alberta’s solid reputation for delivering best-in-class products and services lies in the hands of tens of thousands of satisfied personal, corporate and institutional customers. They trust Alberta to prevent and protect what matters most today and tomorrow.

in its staff to help them be the best version of themselves. This expert team has now expanded to over 1,100 people across Malta and Cyprus.

“When you think about how the industry has transformed over the years, from providing services that were perceived to be a luxury, to services which are now considered essential, the value of what you are doing is even greater as you are essentially helping to drive this transformation,” adds Patil.

INVESTMENT IN MALTESE TV CONTENT

GO Plc’s TV journey dates back to 2007 when the company invested in a start-up that, at the time, was the only company offering DTTV (digital terrestrial television) services. Since then, the business has transitioned from investing in technology, gradually shifting to IPTV (internet protocol television) and in its customer interface, making it far more interactive, to investing in richer TV content, both foreign and local.

Data clearly shows that the Maltese community has always maintained a strong appetite for local TV content, dramas in particular. Historically, for the local community to enjoy Maltese dramas, they had to switch between different channels at different times to enjoy the content they love, often sacrificing one show over another. Consequently, the potential of every production was minimised.

From an industry perspective, the many challenges faced by production houses meant that only a limited number of dramas could be produced every year, mainly due to financial and other resource constraints. This meant that a lot of talent and creativity was being underutilised, cultural heritage and a host of historical stories were being lost and the preservation of Maltese content was threatened.

“We knew we could do something to bridge this gap. We had the

platform, the resources to invest and the demand from our customers, which we wanted to satisfy, so then the concept of TOKIS was born,” Patil elaborates.

Late last year, GO Plc committed to becoming one of the largest producers of local TV content, primarily to support the growth of the industry and to attract more talent. This was followed by the introduction of TOKIS, which is essentially the first ever local library of Maltese TV content.

TOKIS now provides a mix of both new and pre-existing TV content, therefore extending the lifespan of such material, allowing some viewers to revisit programmes they previously enjoyed, and others to enjoy it for the very first time. The plan for the company moving forward is to continue collaborating with local producers to bring even more content, not only to the locals but to the vast Maltese expat community in countries such as Australia, the

UK, and Canada through the GO TV App.

Customers can now enjoy TOKIS, which is GO Plc’s first-ever, local library of Maltese TV content

BECOMING ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE

“Our intention is that whilst we as a company are undertaking efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, in doing so, we are also enabling our customers to simultaneously reduce theirs,” says Patil.

The reality is that becoming carbon neutral is a long-term goal for many companies such as GO Plc. It takes a consistent level of effort and consideration in every decision that the company takes, from purchasing, to processing, to the technologies that GO Plc offers.

“The good news is that we have started this process and have an ambitious programme in place, and a key element to this is awareness and education. To this end, earlier this year, 87 percent of our people, as well as our board members and executive team actively participated in a GO green learning programme delivered by the GO Academy,” he continues.

Regular updates are also provided at the company’s bi-weekly, company-wide team hangouts on the progress that is being made on all green initiatives, including the large investment in a new headquarters which will be the first net zero building on the island. Additionally, these team updates cover the process of switching to a full electric vehicle (EV) fleet and the ongoing monitoring of GO Plc’s carbon footprint to identify any areas for improvement.

BUILDING KEY PARTNERSHIPS

GO Plc currently operates both a nationwide copper network and a fibre network, which at present covers 65 percent of the island, as well as three undersea cables.

“You can just imagine the level of complexity that comes with these developments and processes, and the specialised skills that are required to plan, roll out and manage such operations. So, our suppliers, whether it’s for hardware, services, or specialist skills are an integral and critical part of our success, or even at times, failures,” details Patil.

“We like to consider our suppliers as partners, just as we see ourselves in relation to our business clients. Ultimately, we know that working hand in hand with our suppliers at every stage will result in mutual success,” he adds.

This mutual success looks set to continue and develop exponentially as GO Plc goes from strength to strength within Malta’s thriving television, telecoms and network markets.

CULTIVATING THE FARM OF THE FUTURE

Controlled-environment agriculture is being recognised as the most efficient method of choice for farming and horticulture. Originating from the Netherlands, we take a look at VB, and speak to CEO Edward Verbakel about greenhouse advantages and recent developments in Europe and the US

Our history is filled with examples of innovation across a thousand practices, but few have been as important as those great steps made in the pursuit of food.

Turn the clock back to the Neolithic Revolution in around 13,000-10,000 BCE, a time when animal husbandry led humanity to be masters of the herd rather than the hunt, a smarter, more efficient, and less dangerous practice. Thereafter in 9,000 BCE, our ancestors dwelling in the Fertile Crescent (east of the Mediterranean Sea spanning multiple Middle Eastern countries) turned their minds to the plough, lapping over the soil in waves to keep earth fresh and fertile to host seeds and grow crops. Agriculture had begun in full bloom, setting in stone the food-centric path of early, settled civilisation.

From such dawn-era knowledge, agriculture has adapted across the world. One only has to look at the iconic terraced hill farms of ancient Wari (and later Incan) culture - techniques that are still used around the world due to their efficiency and success.

Today, such tiered (or vertical) farming methods are not only applicable but represent the future of smart farming, as the most economical use of energy and resources while limiting environmental impacts, in exchange for the highest yield of consumable produce. Smarter farming methods are the key to our future, and this truth is being realised across the globe.

“The world’s population is growing; there is more demand for safe, healthy food all year round, and this is coupled with the necessity of combatting climate change, and the consequential demand for food produce that uses less energy and water, as well as a reduced transport footprint,” introduces Edward Verbakel, CEO of VB.

The son of a company founder (Aad Verbakel), Verbakel is a second-generation family member in an executive position within VB, and has led the company for almost 20 years, managing projects that have been built for clients around the world.

“Modern greenhouses are the way forward; they use 20 percent less water than field-grown crops, use up less space for more produce through tiered farming, and are now considered as assets by investors and capital funds due to their value in the agricultural sector.”

EME OUTLOOK: CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY IN YOUR GREENHOUSES?

EDWARD VERBAKEL, CEO: “Around 12 years ago, VB started to explore opportunities to replace fossil fuels for the greenhouse industry, as we used volumes of natural gas in the Netherlands. It was a very affordable option back then but obviously not very sustainable because there were a lot of pollutants that made it damaging to the environment – CO2 levels were high – and looking towards alternatives is what led us to the geothermal industry. “So far, VB has been involved in 17 out of the 23 active geothermal wells in the Netherlands, most of which are connected to greenhouses, with others feeding industrial solutions, houses or other areas. Today, almost 20 percent of the glass surfaces of our greenhouses make use of geothermal heat rather than traditional forms of energy, which is a large step towards becoming more sustainable. “We believe that this model can be used in international markets as long as we remain informed and aware of the rules and regulations in each particular country we operate in to collaborate and succeed in this area.”

can weather even extreme conditions.

Initially founded as a heating supplier to the horticulture industry in 1966, J & A Verbakel Verwarming was started in the Netherlands by two brothers, Joop and Aad Verbakel, with company activities later branching abroad to places such as Belgium, Germany, France, and even in the US.

As the company diversified into greenhouse building projects in 1983, the name changed; what had been Verbakel – Bomkas following a business acquisition of Bomkas Greenhouses in the Netherlands, thereafter became VB, and today the company stands as a specialist in constructing sustainable plants and projects, the centre of which are its greenhouses.

“We specialise in the design and build of such greenhouse projects, and we are also active in the energy solutions space, geothermal heating plants, and in other areas such as football stadiums,” Verbakel tells us. “There is currently an energy crisis in which high-tech horticulture requires substantial volumes of energy for heating, cooling and lighting.

“Industries need to become more sustainable; geothermal heat can replace some of the fossil fuels, yet the scale is needed to benefit from these sources. VB is well aware of the domestic Dutch requirements to realise the geothermal sources and has ambitions to bring this knowledge into other markets. However, this will require local partners that are well informed about the local rules and regulations related to these heat mining activities.”

VB’s greenhouse projects are built from the ground up and delivered with professionalism and the promise of bountiful yield, answering the demand in the agriculture industry for smarter and better methods of farming.

SMARTER FARMING

The reason why greenhouses are becoming a core focus of the agricultural and horticultural industries is clear for those who invest in such sectors. For Verbakel, smarter agricultural practices and the sustainable use of energy is key to improving the yield and longevity of food production, and at a structural level, greenhouses are fundamental to this success.

“The availability of food within a large population combined with climate change and the ambition to reduce miles makes it a very interesting topic, especially when combined with the significant attention being placed on controlled-environment agriculture (CEA),” explains Verbakel.

“A field is vulnerable; crops are at the mercy of the weather with the potential to be impacted by storms or exposed to drought conditions, for example. In terms of water usage and pesticides, fields use a lot more water

than CEA, while also having to make use of more pesticides due to crop exposure to the open air.”

The smarter and more sustainable methods of greenhouse farming are shown by the circular use of resources, exemplified by the resource cost to produce the humble tomato.

According to Verbakel, a field-grown tomato requires up to 20 times more fresh water than a greenhouse-grown tomato, and the water that such greenhouse-grown fruit and vegetables do not consume is recaptured, cleaned and ready to be used again, while in the field, excess water is soaked into the earth along with pesticides and fertiliser that impacts the soil levels. The retrieval and cleaning of this water from an open field requires far more energy, effort and time than that reused from a greenhouse.

“Not only is tiered farming the origin for less water, less space and more produce, but it is the expected future form of farming,” Verbakel adds.

“Nowadays, we are able to use less water and less space due to high-efficiency methods that use less water and less labour. The shortages in daylight and climate are being compensated by advanced technological solutions in a controlled environment.”

Then there are the disadvantages of such labour and field-grown produce shelf life in traditional agriculture. The fact that produce has to bridge distances before it reaches an area where it is being consumed is an issue brought to the forefront of traditional field agriculture.

“Areas with open agricultural fields are not particularly the areas where most of the population lives, and so there exist costs, not only in travel and to the environment, but also shelf life,” Verbakel details. “Meanwhile, our clients are using our technology to grow and bring better quality foods to a more demanding consumer 365 days a year, keeping produce fresher, increasing shelf life, and reducing waste.”

Traditional field farming entails more rigorous and less efficient labour, making employment a less attractive prospect. The difference between working low to the ground, exposed to the elements, compared to the easy access to efficiently grown (sometimes tiered) produce leads to longer-term employment and happier personnel.

“On top of this, greenhouses are seeing new trends of automation and robotisation, and are more receptive to such advancements,” Verbakel adds. “CEA allows for a greater level of control and monitoring and is built for the automation of processes, as well as making use of technology that maximises yield potential and prediction at all times of year, such as LED lights that spread much lower heat so as not to impact the temperature of greenhouses, while increasing light levels to promote growth.” Maroa Farms, and App Harvest in the CEA space.

“Little Leaf Farms has been our respected client since they started their first building in Devens, Massachusetts, in 2015. We have built five consecutive times for them,” Verbakel continues. “The latest greenhouse expansion in McAdoo, Pennsylvania, will integrate Little Leaf Farms’ best-in-class technology, including energy efficiencies across heating, cooling, lighting, advanced data analytics and hands-free automated growing systems.

“Little Leaf Farms employs hydroponic production for its lettuce which is grown under glass and uses captured rainwater, natural sunlight, up to 90 percent less water than field-grown greens, and no harmful pesticides.”

BUSINESS ACROSS THE POND

Although VB’s roots sprouted in the Netherlands and Europe, the company is branching further afield. Across the pond, the US is a hub of activity for the company and its expansion plans, with VB having successfully undertaken multiple projects for US-based clients and many more promising developments in the pipeline.

“The North American market is a focus for VB. We have a rich history in the US, having been active there since 1971,” Verbakel tells us proudly. “VB has references in over 25 states and works for companies who are each the best in their class.”

In recent years, VB has completed projects for Little Leaf Farms, Mighty Vine Tomatoes, Bushel Boy Farms, Backyard Farms, and Village Farms, as well as with its Atrium Agri partner for Green Empire Farms, Pure Flavor,

father who undertook his first project on Long Island (New York State), and from there grew the business and helped lead it to what it has become today.

“The North American market is the most important continent that we are focused on at the moment. We are fortunate to experience a good exchange rate and a relatively stable economic climate between Western Europe and North America, not only in the US, but also in Mexico and Canada where we remain active,” Verbakel says.

“When VB began in the US, we delivered solutions to produce domestic plants and flowers, but later in the 2000s we made a shift towards the vegetable market. The US is behind when you look at the greenhouse surface per capita, and this is demonstrated by the country’s food imports and substantial field farming industry, so there remains a great deal of potential in the market for greenhouse developments.”

SECURITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

The US will remain VB’s focal market, given the size and scale of farming across the country and the potential of the sector.

Moving forward, VB is aware that business security is an important aspect of success, which in turn allows the company to continue advancing the agriculture and horticulture industries, helping them develop and become more efficient, eco-friendly, and economical.

“We are aware that we are doing well, but we can still do better,” Verbakel reflects. “Another thing to remember is both profitability and the robustness of the company, as to become more sustainable it

is important to be economically justified; you should not overspend on trying to become a better supplier and have a lower profile of existence or a lower outlook for a healthy future.

“Looking to the years ahead, together with our clients and partners, we will create a sustainable future by using fewer natural resources while producing fresh healthy vegetables and beautiful flowering plants. Our short-term goal is to maintain key customer relations and increase customer satisfaction.

“Under the Atrium Agri umbrella, we have the capacity and leverage to take on very large-scale greenhouse projects and bring them to successful completion.”
