The money will be used to launch the system in the European market

Industrifonden and Midroc New Technology are each investing SEK 10 million (US$ 1.5 million, EUR 1.1 million) in Heliospectra’s intelligent lighting system. The company has developed a unique, energy-efficient system for greenhouses that accelerates plant growth. Also participating in the led linear high bay light 30 million (US$4.5 million, EUR 3.3 million) issue are the company’s current owners and chairman. The money will be used to launch the system in the European market.

With Heliospectra’s system, growers can adjust how their plants grow and in this way control quality. This includes the thickness of the stem and leaf, the plant’s size and tolerance, and how quickly it grows.

This is done using a light emitting diode (led high bay light) system, which can be set at just the right wavelength needed to achieve the desired results for each type of plant. All plants have their own preferred wavelengths, and Heliospectra has the unique ability to develop algorithms that are adapted accordingly. Thus far the system is being used only on basil, which is the most abundantly grown crop in the greenhouse today, but the company is working on other plants.
