Cropt is a deep tech startup that develops AI solutions for agriculture of the future. It was founded as a spin-off from BioSense Institute, the EU’s Centre of Excellence for AgTech. The team has so far won many prestigious awards, such as the 1st prize at Syngenta Crop Challenge, CGIAR Inspire Challenge and Reach Incubator. Our solutions for smart sowing strategies increase farmers’ profits for 30% while simultaneously reducing the risk and environmental footprint. To do that, we combine satellite, soil, weather and field data and apply state-of-the-art AI algorithms for yield prediction, risk assessment and optimisation of decision-making.

Our co-founder Oskar gave a very insightful interview about our pilot within the dRural project in Croatia. You can find it on the link below. “Yield prediction allows us to provide farmers with recommendations on the use of inputs like #fertilizers and #pesticides proportional to the yield but also with information on how much produce they’ll get,” explains Marko. “This will be valuable not only for optimising logistics, distribution, and sales but also for assessing the value of the farmland and calculating the farmers’ expected revenue, which is a precious estimation for #banks and #insurance companies, for both granting loans and refunding them in case of damage.”
Producing more with less: AI-powered solutions are revolutionising agriculture. But financial and environmental benefits are only the tip of the iceberg. Some rural areas are also betting on artificial intelligence to counter depopulation.

Our biz developer Olivera Živanović took part in an exceptional programme for supporting women in business, organised by PwC. With a male and a female co-founder, and a female CEO, integrating and empowering women within our team comes quite naturally, and that is one of the core values we are nurturing. Thanks a lot to the organisers and out mentor Ivana Henckel von Donnersmarck (Jelic) for this wonderful opportunity!
