heliospectra Research and Development

The design and development of our lighting systems are the result of close collaboration between our customers, engineers and plant scientists. We continually develop new growth regimes for different types of plants and improve on existing regimes.

IN GOOD COMPANY

In addition to our own in-house R&D, Heliospectra undertakes joint research projects with several institutes, universities and other external partners. We even share offices with one of them – SP Food and Bioscience unit (formerly SIK – The Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology) in Gothenburg, Sweden. There, we have a cleanroom growth facility that simulates day and night temperatures. Inside are 20 smaller growth chambers and a Conviron A1000 climate chamber. Our collaboration with SIK gives us access to advanced equipment and services used by the food and agricultural industry in Sweden.
