RootZone Intelligence: High-Precision Soil/Substrate Monitoring for Yield Optimization

MizuSense: Precision Root-Zone Intelligence for Sustainable Agriculture

• Our Core Digital Services: MizuSense, a TU Delft spin-off, provides a specialized IoT and AI-driven hardware solution focused on the Root Zone, the most critical environment for plant performance. Our core service is an end-to-end digital monitoring platform that utilizes high-precision sensors to track real-time water uptake rates, Electrical Conductivity (EC), and temperature directly within growth substrates (rockwool, coco-peat, etc.). Our AI algorithms process this granular data to provide predictive analytics and actionable insights for greenhouse management.

• How They Apply to the Agrifood Sector: In the agrifood sector, where 80% of plant stress begins in the roots, our technology allows for early detection of critical issues like hypoxia (oxygen deficiency) or salinity stress days before physical symptoms appear on the leaves. This predictive capability enables high-tech greenhouses to optimize irrigation and fertigation strategies. By maintaining the "Golden Zone" of root health, our digital services help growers achieve a 30% reduction in water usage and a 20% increase in total yield for high-value crops like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers.

• The Type of Agrifood Partner We Are Looking For: We are seeking to connect with greenhouse operators Additionally, we are looking for strategic partners in the greenhouse automation and climate control space (integrators) for API collaboration, as well as Agri-Tech focused investors interested in scaling AI-driven sustainable cultivation solutions.
