Innovation Agritech Group (IAG) has been honoured with two prestigious awards at the Vertical Farming World Awards 2024! This recognition underscores our commitment to driving innovation and fostering collaboration in the vertical farming sector with educational institutions
Our Award-Winning Initiatives
Best Community Impact Initiative – IAG Educate
This award celebrates the transformative work of IAG Educate, our educational outreach and training initiative. Through collaborations with institutions like University of Essex, Sparsholt College Group, Reading University, Plumpton College, LEAF and Royal Holloway, we are equipping the next generation of farmers, researchers, and educators with the skills needed to thrive in sustainable agriculture. By integrating our vertical farming technology into educational settings IAG Educate is paving the way for a future where food security and innovation go hand in hand.
Best Collaborations/Partnerships Initiative – IAG x University of Essex
Our collaboration with the University of Essex has been recognised for its impact on education and research. Supported by the Wolfson Foundation, this collaboration has allowed for the installation of our GrowFrame360™ vertical farming system as part of their new STEPS facility on campus. By using the technology students are not only gaining hands-on experience, but it is also enabling world-class research into crop science, sustainability, and controlled environment agriculture. This initiative highlights the power of academia-industry partnerships in addressing global food challenges.
