General information
- Short Summary
- The company develops deep-tech solutions for sustainable agriculture by utilizing agricultural waste. Our project focuses on producing an innovative biostimulant that enhances plant resilience against environmental stresses such as drought while supporting sustainable farming practices. Within the scope of Eurostars, we are looking for partners with whom we can collaborate in drone-based field applications, regulation and commercialization processes.
- Full Description
-
The company develops deep-tech solutions for sustainable agriculture by utilizing agricultural waste through advanced biotechnological methods. Designed in line with circular economy principles, our innovative biostimulant formulation aims to enhance plant resilience against one of the most significant threats to agriculture—drought—while promoting sustainable farming practices.
Within the scope of our project, controlled release technology is employed to optimize the biostimulant formulation, introducing a novel approach to reducing traditional fertilizer dependency. This technology is designed for integration into precision agriculture practices and will be supported by drone-based field applications, ensuring efficient distribution and effective use of biostimulants.
As part of the Eurostars program, we are seeking partners for collaboration in drone-based field testing, regulatory processes, and commercialization. Specifically, we aim to partner with experts in the following fields:
• Drone technology and precision agriculture solutions: Companies that develop solutions to enable the efficient and targeted application of biostimulants.
• Commercialization and distribution partners: Industrial partners who can facilitate the large-scale adoption and distribution of the product.
This project offers a unique and innovative approach, combining sustainability, precision agriculture, and deep technology in the agri-food sector. In the long term, we aim to contribute to reducing the carbon footprint in agriculture, improving water efficiency, and increasing crop productivity.
We are open to collaborating with innovative and sustainable agriculture technology developers to form a strong consortium for our Eurostars application. - Advantages and Innovations
-
