Avisomo and their Growth Station is the only nominee in the contest representing the vertical farming industry, but are joined by LED providers Food Autonomy with their LEDFan Greenhouse Toplight representing the general CEA industry. 

Avisomo’s CEO, Martin Molenaar, comments on the upcoming nomination:

Our nomination to the Fruit Logistica Innovation award is a tremendous recognition of our system and its potential, but it’s also a notable inclusion of vertical farming concepts into the mainstream agricultural landscape. Being nominated among this select group of prominent agriculture actors is a huge motivation for us and we will make sure to use this opportunity to display the beneficial properties of our system and vertical farming in general to all interested parties.
