When the world’s leading horticulture scientists and cultivators come together, breakthrough research and innovative application become one.
Our commitment to designing and building unparalleled horticulture LED lighting solutions is unwavering. Still, our dedication to advancing the world’s understanding of the interaction between light and life is equally significant and is the catalyst for the annual Photobiology Exchange Summit (PHOTOx).
