Intelligent Growth Solutions - IGS

The berry business is booming, with global demand set to double in the next five years. IGS Growth Towers can play a key role in helping to scale production, helping growers navigate challenges around supply and crop consistency with repeatable, predictable growth.

This week, IGS’ Head of Sales Europe, Gina Mercier, and Senior Plant Scientist, Csaba Hornyik attended the annual Fruitnet Berry Congress in London, where Gina spoke about the role our technology can play in growing pathogen- and pest-free starter plants, working alongside existing CEA infrastructure. We’ve loved meeting with so many fellow industry professionals at events these last few months – here’s to more ‘fruitful’ conversations across the rest of 2026!

No tricks here this Halloween, just some scarily good lettuce grown at our Crop Research Centre! When the produce is fresh, pesticide-free, and packed full of nutrients, you know you’ve got nothing to fear 👻.

This week, we had the pleasure of being invited back to Edinburgh Science Festival’s annual Careers Hive. Members of Team IGS spoke with attendees about their own STEM career pathways, as well as supervising experiments, and running activity sessions which combined engineering design, problem solving, and team work – key skills which our team utilise each day.

It’s always rewarding speaking to the next generation of talent, engaging them in what we do, and opening their eyes to potential careers in the fast-paced world of controlled environment agriculture.
