This talk will cover Intelligent Growth Solutions’ (IGS) approach of large scale total controlled environment  agriculture where versatility and efficiency are prioritised through vertical scale and automation. The speaker joined IGS in late 2019 during the company’s start-up phase and has seen  IGS grow from roughly 20 employees to over 250 and go from a single operating  Growth Tower to many customer deployments across the globe.
