Dutch startup Spatialise has secured €350,000 in funding from UNIIQ, an funding fund devoted to supporting proof-of-concept improvements. The funding will allow Spatialise to additional develop its AI-driven soil well being monitoring platform, which makes use of satellite tv for pc knowledge and synthetic intelligence to evaluate the nutrient content material of farmland topsoils.
Based by Soufiane el Khinifri, Spatialise addresses the agricultural sector’s growing want for environment friendly and correct soil evaluation. The platform supplies insights into key soil parts.
“Our digital soil evaluation expertise makes it doable to precisely measure the natural carbon (SOC) and different important vitamins comparable to nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) within the soil. This permits farmers to optimise their use of fertilisers, leading to fewer emissions and value financial savings,” says Soufiane.
These insights assist farmers optimise fertiliser use, lowering emissions and reducing prices, whereas additionally supporting land restoration and monitoring the carbon footprint of meals worth chains.
Commenting on the funding, Soufiane said: “Making regenerative agriculture accessible worldwide by AI-driven expertise, is our mission. This funding will allow us to additional develop and increase our soil monitoring options in order that extra farmers can enhance the well being of their soil whereas saving prices.”
UNIIQ, a €50 million funding fund managed by InnovationQuarter, Leiden College, Erasmus MC, and TU Delft, focuses on accelerating improvements through the proof-of-concept section.
Jasper Geselschap, Fund Supervisor of UNIIQ at InnovationQuarter, highlighted the potential influence of Spatialise’s platform: “Spatialise is taking an enormous step in making the agricultural sector extra sustainable by using superior AI expertise. We’re delighted to spend money on an organization that gives each cost-saving options for farmers, and makes a big contribution to lowering the environmental footprint of agriculture.”
With this funding, Spatialise goals to reinforce its platform’s capabilities, making regenerative agriculture accessible to farmers globally.
