In collaboration with experts from the Tri-City scientific community, Sii engineers created an AI-driven control station for hydroponic plant breeding. This cutting-edge method allows plants to grow without soil, supplying necessary nutrients through water where roots are immersed.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The project has been recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, which grants a tax credit for research and development, also known as the &#8216;Cr\u00e9dit d&#8217;imp\u00f4t recherche&#8217; (CIR). This tax incentive program encourages companies to invest in research and development and signifies excellence in R&amp;D activities in France.
