Agrometa LLC

We started Agrometa in 2022, and since then, we’ve been providing drone fertilizing services to Georgian farmers. After working with hundreds of farmers and engaging in close conversations, we identified a critical need: farmers often lack visibility into the health of their crops, especially across large fields. As a result, they struggle to detect issues and take timely action. Without awareness of problem areas, they may apply incorrect agricultural measures, potentially causing further damage.
Our solution is SMART FARMER - an AI powered software, that analyzes drone-generated data to deliver detailed crop health insights and actionable recommendations. It helps farmers:
• Optimize crop management
• Reduce pesticide usage
• Boost overall productivity

Polliknow

Over 50% of global GDP ($44 trillion annually) depends on nature and biodiversity, yet both face a crisis with a staggering 69% decline in species since 1970. This alarming loss has spurred regulations such as CSRD, BNG, and TNFD requiring companies to assess and report their nature impact.

Technological innovation in monitoring insect pollinators has historically focused on commercial honeybees using hive-mounted sensors, with no scalable solutions for tracking diverse pollinator species. This gap is critical: insect pollinators are essential to 75% of crops, yet 40% face extinction underscoring the need for affordable monitoring systems.

Polliknow uses cutting edge computer vision to collect on-the-ground verifiable biodiversity data through insect pollinators. Polliknow collect 20x more data over traditional manual methods, cutting costs by 63% and labour by 70%, automating the gathering of verifiable biodiversity .
