the plants are controlled with light instead of pesticides

The business concept seems simple but is revolutionary, since it allows growers to continuously predict, control and plan the led high bay light value of their plants,” says Stefan Jakélius, Investment Manager at Industrifonden. “Heliospectra is the only company in the world to offer this, and we see great opportunities for the company in a growing market.”

Heliospectra has the potential to radically change an otherwise traditionally conservative industry,” says Andreas Gunnarsson, Investment Manager at Midroc New Technology.

Another advantage of the system is the significant energy savings compared with today's lighting systems. It offers led linear high bay light efficient production with less waste and is also well suited to organic growers, since the plants are controlled with light instead of pesticides.

“Industrifonden and Midroc are strong, stable owners, thanks to which we can now speed up our pace and venture out into Europe,” says Heliospectra CEO Staffan Hillberg.
