Semios

Semios is a Canadian startup with a mission to "Helping nature feed a growing population." Established in 2010, Semios offers a scalable data analytics platform for growers and ag professionals, focusing on predicting, identifying, and preventing pest and disease pressure. Their analytics engine utilizes a network of 2 million sensors that provide updates every 10 minutes, measuring climate, soil, and insect pest activity, allowing Semios to apply big data analytics and machine learning to reduce and mitigate crop risks for growers. The company's efforts have a significant impact on increasing sustainability in agriculture by promoting reduced dependency on pesticides and crop management inputs while simultaneously boosting the value of harvests through reduced loss and increased quality. Recently, Semios secured a substantial $100.00MPrivate Equity Round investment on 29 September 2021 led by Morningside Ventures. With its innovative approach and strong investor support, Semios is well-positioned to continue making strides in the agriculture and big data industries.
