Our take
Climate change is rapidly delivering new challenges to the agriculture industry. Farmers are facing increasing volatility in the climate, leading to unpredictable weather patterns, making growing conditions challenging.
Semios is addressing this issue with its ‘Farming-as-a-service’ platform. Having been one of the first major players in the space, Semios’s service is set apart by its integrated end-to-end solution that addresses the gamut of farmers’ crop production requirements.
In that same vein, the successful startup is continually expanding and refining its product portfolio with acquisitions and new integrations of 3rd party agricultural solutions into its crop management platform. Building on its current success, the company can only look forward to impressive growth as farmers increasingly view their devices as mission-critical to satisfactory yields.
