AUSTIN, Texas & ROTTERDAM, Netherlands — Fluence, a leading global provider of energy-efficient LED lighting solutions for commercial cannabis and food production, announced today it was named 2023’s “Lighting Company of the Year” at the inaugural EMJAYS International Cannabis Awards.
The EMJAYS is a collaboration between award-winning event producers Farechild Events and MJBizCon, the cannabis industry’s largest trade show and media entity. The program recognizes leaders across the cannabis industry, including financial services organizations, branding and marketing firms, technology providers and others.
“It is an honor to receive the first-ever EMJAYS award for ‘Lighting Company of the Year,’” said Michiel van Dam, CEO of Fluence. “Our success is only made possible by the hundreds of incredible growers we’ve worked with throughout our history. We are committed to helping cultivators boost plant quality, drive increased yields and meet their cultivation goals—to ensure they can not only grow smarter, but thrive.”
Fluence’s award comes after Cannabis Business Times released its eighth annual “State of the Cannabis Lighting Market” report, which found that more than 70% of commercial growers use LEDs across propagation, vegetation and flowering. Over 60% of surveyed growers also achieved yields of more than 50 grams per square foot of canopy under LED fixtures.
Finalists and winners were recognized during MJBizCon on Nov. 30, 2023, at the Pearl Concert Theater in the Palms Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. A full list of winners can be found here.
