Aridex Ltd

Aridex Ltd is a Cyprus-based research and technology SME (Nicosia), certified as an Innovative Enterprise, specialising in Earth Observation analytics and IoT environmental monitoring to support sustainable agriculture, resilient natural resources and climate-adapted rural communities in the Mediterranean.

Core expertise relevant to Cluster 6:

• Earth Observation for land, soil and water: Sentinel-1/2 SAR/InSAR and multispectral processing for crop condition, land degradation, erosion and post-fire sediment risk, ground deformation, and water resource and water network monitoring.

• IoT and environmental sensing: in-field sensor networks and data platforms for precision agriculture, irrigation management, freshwater quality and pollution tracking.

• Data integration and decision support: combining EO and in-situ sensor data into indicators, dashboards and early-warning tools for farmers, water managers and local authorities.

• Living labs and pilots: established access to community councils, municipalities and agricultural actors across Cyprus, enabling Aridex to host and operate living labs and real-world demonstrations in water-scarce, fire-prone Mediterranean landscapes.

Aridex has extensive experience in EU-funded collaborative projects and cascade funding (Horizon Europe, EIT, ESA-linked and Eurocluster instruments), acting as technology provider, pilot/validation partner and project management support in multi-partner consortia. Aridex can lead a full work package, typically on monitoring and data, piloting and validation, or stakeholder engagement and replication.

For the Cluster 6 2027 calls, Aridex is seeking to join or co-build consortia on biodiversity and ecosystem monitoring, soil health, sustainable water management, precision and climate-smart farming, wildfire and climate resilience of rural areas, and environmental observation and digital solutions, contributing EO/IoT monitoring pipelines, data-driven decision support and Mediterranean pilot sites.
