About

We are developing a Weather-Driven Smart Irrigation Intelligence Platform designed to improve water efficiency and climate resilience in agricultural production.

Our core digital solution integrates:

• High-resolution weather forecasting using the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model (downscaled to 1 km resolution)
• IoT-based environmental monitoring (soil moisture, temperature, humidity, precipitation)
• Satellite-based crop monitoring (Sentinel & Landsat – NDVI, crop stress indicators)
• A 3D Digital Twin platform for real-time visualisation and decision support

The platform transforms environmental data into actionable irrigation recommendations, enabling farmers to optimise irrigation timing, reduce water consumption and improve crop performance.

Unlike traditional weather services, our system provides farm-scale microclimate forecasts combined with real-time soil and crop data, enabling predictive irrigation management.

We are currently applying to the GATE5.0 Open Call and looking for partners for pilot implementation and scaling.

🔍 We are looking for:

• Agrifood SMEs (farms, cooperatives, greenhouse operators)
• Irrigation technology providers
• Agricultural IoT companies
• Research organisations working on precision agriculture
• Living labs or pilot sites for validation

🤝 Collaboration interests:

• Pilot implementation of smart irrigation systems
• Integration with existing farm management systems
• Joint development of data-driven irrigation solutions
• Scaling across Europe and the Balkans

Our solution is particularly relevant for:

• Water-scarce regions
• High-value crops (horticulture, medicinal plants, greenhouse farming)
• Climate-sensitive agricultural systems
