Background

Digital innovation is the next great frontier in agriculture. With remote sensors, satellites and drones, farmers now have access to more data than ever. By modeling this data, we can provide farmers with useful insights to make critical and timely in-field decisions, such as predicting environmental pressures or vulnerability to pests. While real-time data drives the precise application of resources, software allows for quick, easy analysis of crop management and protection. We aim to accelerate advances in genomics, phenomics and artificial intelligence to develop solutions to our shared challenges and bring more value to our customers.

What we're looking for

We are seeking digital tools for collecting, transmitting and analyzing data, and data platforms for measuring and predicting agronomic performance.

Solutions of interest include:
  • Novel phenotyping and modeling tools for early detection and quantification of insects, nematodes and diseases or modeling tools for plant growth and development in response to abiotic stresses
  • Machine learning and data modeling tools that provide actionable insights and recommendations for efficient use of crop inputs, e.g. for soil application scripting
  • Precision technologies to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, such as in-field chemical residue measurement
  • Artificial intelligence applications in active ingredient discovery and optimization processes
  • Novel approaches for yield estimation
  • Novel approaches for root phenotyping, esp. non-destructive methodologies
What we can offer you
