The team
A team of researchers and engineers with complementary skills:
Our R&D offers
Different types of research and development projects can be implemented, depending on requirements. Some examples developed with our partners:
60-day feasibility study
This type of study is used to check that the plant is operating correctly in the growing system. It can be carried out when cultivating a plant that has not been tested in the R&D laboratory, or for a short validation of a plant of interest.160-day recipe development process
This type of experimentation can be judicious in the case of short-cycle plants (lettuces, aromatic herbs, etc.), allowing the replication of several crop cycles during the study, guaranteeing the repeatability of the recipe.300-day recipe development process
This type of experimentation is recommended for long-cycle plants (fruit, flowers, etc.). It can also be used to carry out trials on soil composition or light spectrum optimization, or even to guarantee advanced optimization for short-cycle plants.
