Adam Dixon - British, Europe

2017 获奖人 | | British

Phytoponics is a hydroponic growing system for the commercial greenhouse. It is rapidly deployable and made from a flexible high-tech polymer. The system rolls up compact, transports cheaply and installs fast.  The design adapts to a wide range of crops with sizing options, from fodder to tomato and from lettuce to dragon fruit, they are all served by our automated multi-crop nutrient system. The system lasts up to ten years and costs USD 20,000 per year per hectare to supply. A return on investment of 5-10 times is expected, with break even possible within one year.

Adam is an entrepreneur and inventor. He comes from an engineering education, and quit a PhD in design to work full time on developing Phytoponics. In just one year, he built the company to achieve an evaluation of GBP 2 million and supply Europe's second largest producer of salad.
