TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2021 / The past few decades has brought to light the tenuous state of the natural world. The rapid advancement of humanity and our industries has brought with it pollution and rising temperature. Climate change is a fact, and it's threatening the food supply our ever-increasing global population needs to survive. The danger is that at some point, humanity will run out of arable land, and the damage to our green planet will make it next to impossible to cultivate crops efficiently. The affront to nature can only be rectified by sustainable cultivation and implementation of technology that make crop production more intelligent and resource-efficient.
Enter Heliospectra, a company out of Sweden whose mission is to redefine nature's potential. Founded in 2006 by plant scientists and biologists with a single shared vision: to revolutionize crop production. The means behind pursuing their vision is cutting edge technology, the latest in horticulture lighting technology, custom light control systems, and specialized services for greenhouse and controlled plant growth environments. This may just be the future of food production and agriculture.
When asked about the technology and focus that puts Heliospectra at the forefront of its industry, Ali Ahmadian, President and CEO, had this to say, "Not only are we creating advanced LED lighting and control technologies, but what we do matters! Horticultural lighting was established to increase the efficiencies of commercial food production. Our products and expertise help growers and their businesses reduce energy costs, production and plant waste, and produce highest quality crops that look better, taste better, and last longer."
Through their cutting-edge technology, Heliospectra aims to "empower businesses to eliminate food deserts and allow it to thrive in growing metropolitan, urban areas while also expanding the opportunity for more robust, resilient crops and income viability for farmers in rural areas or harsh climates." Ali continues.
What's more impressive than Heliospectra's state of the art food production technology is their commitment to the community and farming industry. To them, their success is their growers' success. Their CEO explains further, "We find that one of our greatest challenges is encouraging growers to embrace change and new technologies. We recognize the significant investment required for business success. Heliospectra serves our customers like a true partner, we help greenhouses and indoor vertical farms achieve consistency in crop quality and time to retail markets as well as consistency in operations. Heliospectra, our lights, controls and technical services, are designed to help growers scale business quickly with reliable, intelligent, and intuitive solutions created to withstand the rigors of diverse growing conditions and environments. We share our grower's passion for plants and people, and understand that innovation builds business' success."
Heliospectra has been steadily growing for the past 14 years. They've racked up an impressive number of accolades during that time: ASABE (American Society for Agricultural and Biological Engineers) AE50 "Outstanding Innovations in Product or System Technology" Award for the helioCORE™ light control system, Grow Up Lighting System of the Year 2019, a Sustainia100 Sustainable Systems Award, ranked the second-fastest growing technology company in Deloitte's prestigious Sweden Technology Fast 50, the SACC New York - Deloitte Green Award and the Cannabis' Industry Leader in Lighting Technology Award. Additionally, Heliospectra has also been recognized with multiple LED industry Prizm and Sapphire award nominations.
With such an impressive number of awards, and certainly many more in the future, the future looks very bright for Heliospectra. Much like how their lighting technology helps plants to grow faster and healthier, the Swedish company looks to be on track for continued growth as well.
