Veridi Technologies BV

Veridi Technologies BV is a Dutch agricultural technology company that specializes in AI-powered soil biodiversity analysis. The company has developed a platform called NEMASCOPE, which utilizes automated microscopy, deep learning, and computer vision to identify and analyze soil microorganisms, particularly nematodes. By automating the diagnostic process, Veridi provides a scalable, standardized, and cost-effective method for farmers and researchers to assess soil health, fertility, and the presence of plant-parasitic pathogens. The technology is designed to replace traditional, labor-intensive, and expert-dependent diagnostic methods, aiming to make advanced soil diagnostics accessible on an industrial scale.

This work is critical for improving global food security and sustainable agricultural practices. By allowing farmers to detect soil pathogens at early stages, Veridi helps reduce reliance on unnecessary pesticide applications, which in turn supports higher crop yields and promotes regenerative agriculture. The company, which is based in The Hague and supported by various innovation grants and programs such as the EIC Accelerator and Bayer’s startup initiatives, provides actionable insights that help address the significant economic losses caused by land degradation and plant-parasitic nematodes. Their platform translates complex microbial data into practical advice, enabling more informed decision-making regarding soil management and crop protection.
