IGS vertical farming technology
Proven technology with added science
Our design philosophy when it comes to technology has always been about putting the needs of growers first. By keeping our design simple, we allow our customers to focus on what they do best - growing great plants.

How our technology works
The technology used in our towers is already used at scale across a range of global industries. This allows us to add value to proven components with our application of science and engineering. The modularity of our vertical farming technology also makes it easy to scale operations and carry out maintenance, without interrupting production - perfect for large scale operations.
The benefits of our approach to vertical farming technology can be seen below.
Heating, ventilation & air conditioning (HVAC)
Consistency and efficiency
Our closed loop design creates the perfect growing environment, in any location. Crops are not affected by the external climate, while our HVAC system provides both active cooling of lights and environmental control, and creates the perfect environment for growing.
The benefits of our HVAC system are summarised below.

Power
Optimised energy use
Our Growth Towers have been designed to be the perfect consumer of energy. Native three-phase design can flex and integrate with renewables onsite or offsite. You bring the power, we’ll make it work.
The benefits of our patented energy system are summarised below.
Lighting
More than LEDs
Our patented system provides multi-modal control of lighting, including spectrum, and delivers the light plants need to grow with optimised efficacy. It features zero flicker, further improving growing conditions.
The benefits of our lighting are summarised below.

Fertigation
Closed loop system
The IGS fertigation system is closed loop with no discharges to the ground or watercourse. It provides the grower with the ability to fully tailor the nutrient solution and its application schedule to individual requirements.
The benefits of our fertigation system are summarised below.
