Attendees of the Vertical Farming World Congress 2025 will have the exclusive opportunity to tour Growy’s first large-scale vertical farm in Amsterdam - an advanced facility redefining sustainable food production.

Powered by its own cutting-edge technology, Growy produces tonnes of leafy greens daily - locally grown, pesticide-free, and available year-round with consistent quality. By combining Dutch farming expertise with high-tech innovation, including robotics and data-driven optimization, Growy ensures efficiency while supplying consumers and chefs across the Netherlands, with its greens available to purchase under the Growy brand.

As Growy expands, it aims to bring its fresh, high-quality greens to even more cities worldwide, shaping the future of farming one leaf at a time.

Attendees of the Vertical Farming World Congress 2025 will have the exclusive opportunity to visit the Philips GrowWise Research Centre in Eindhoven - one of the world’s leading facilities dedicated to advancing indoor farming.

The centre focuses on developing comprehensive growth strategies that go beyond lighting, incorporating irrigation, climate control, and other factors to optimise plant growth. Research at GrowWise has demonstrated how adjusting these parameters can influence yield, plant morphology, nutritional content, and even taste. Their trials have achieved promising results, including high lettuce yields, enhanced color development, and reduced nitrate concentrations.

GrowWise works closely with growers and industry partners to translate research insights into practical farm setups, helping indoor farming businesses maximize both crop quality and commercial potential. This visit provides a unique opportunity to see firsthand how science is shaping the future of controlled environment agriculture.

Now entering its 6th annual edition, the Vertical Farming World Congress is the only global event dedicated to advancing totally controlled environment agriculture expansion. Welcoming an exclusive audience of 90-125 key decision makers, the Congress serves as the principal business development forum for industry leaders in the vertical farming sector.
