Heliospectra AB, a world leader in intelligent lighting technology for plant research and greenhouse cultivation, is part of a unique agreement between Midroc New Technology and GORD - the Gulf Organization for Research and Development.

 

New and revolutionary environmental technology from four Swedish companies will be displayed in a special full-scale facility in Qatar’s capital Doha. This opportunity may lead to a number of Gulf States choosing Swedish technology in a major investment in sustainable development, and is the outcome of an agreement between Midroc New Technology and GORD, the Gulf Organization for Research and Development for the six Gulf States of the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council).

 

The full-scale demonstration facility will be placed in Qatar Science & Technology Park and will contain a number of functions, from living quarters and workplaces to greenhouses. The idea is that one will be able to see all these different technologies together in one place, from the late summer of 2015 onwards.

 

The GORD Research Organization is responsible for developing sustainable solutions for the whole of the GCC (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain). This means that the innovations that will be presented could in time become the standard for all the member states. In an effort to accelerate the introduction of technologies for world improvement, four of Midrocs portfolio companies achieve a unique position.
