This week Hoogendoorn Growth Management attended the SIVAL trade show for agriculture and horticulture, in Angers, France. With 700 exhibitors and 26,000 professional visitors each year, SIVAL is the trade fair that brings together everyone from the world of horticulture, viticulture, arboriculture and vegetable growing. It is also a well-known specialty crop fair in France.
Hoogendoorn Growth Management submitted its latest innovation, the IIVO, the process computer for the horticultural sector, as a contender for this award in the Machine and Automation category after the summer of 2021. From all 64 submissions, Hoogendoorn was told in the fall of 2021 that they were left with 37 nominees after the strict selection of the independent preliminary jury. In the end, 50 experts made more than 100 recommendations and Hoogendoorn was chosen by the professional jury as the winner of the gold medal in the Machine and Automation category.

IIVO consists of software and hardware applications. In addition, IIVO uses its predictive powers to create the ideal climate conditions for the grower's crop by combining sensor generated data, weather forecasts and past experience. The system reacts proactively to maintain a stable and uniform growing environment, which maximizes a crop's yield and quality and ensures the most efficient use of natural resources.
Hoogendoorn feels honored and proud to announce that it has received the SIVAL Angers d'Or Innovation prize 2022 for its IIVO system. The award ceremony took place on Wednesday, the 16th of March. Hoogendoorn is the only not-French company to win a gold medal at SIVAL 2022 and would like to thank SIVAL for recognizing its innovative capacity.
