10. Meshek76- Exploration, development and optimization of autonomous and sustainable agriculture.?

Based in Israel, Meshek76 is developing an AI-based robotic solution that will monitor the growing process 24/7, and based on CV & AI will conduct accurate dilutions and picking to optimise the process. Find out more here: https://www.meshek76.com/?

11. Microbe Plus- Solutions provided by nature.

By combining biological products and molecular biology, Microbe Plus, who are based in Poland developed an innovative, microbiological technology (probiotic for plants) that reduces the use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers. Discover more here: https://www.microbe-plus.com/en/?

12. Regrowth- Precision farming technologies.

From Italy, Regrowth has developed their product LEAF (Live Environmental & Animal Feedback); an integrated product consisting of management protocols, supported by a modular PLF (Precision Livestock Farming) system. The management protocols are based on a software platform that incorporates a series of formulas key for the construction of a farming plan. Find out more here: https://www.regrowth.it/?

13. Rise Ag- Accessible financing for your transition to sustainable agriculture.

Developed in France, Rize is a platform where farmers can understand their carbon footprint, define their climate action plan and finance their climate action. This platform is based on an advanced carbon monitoring infrastructure at the farm level combining technologies such as carbon footprint calculation, advanced soil modelling, or even satellite imagery.
