Soil Scout

Soil Scout is a Finnish startup founded in 2013, specializing in wireless soil sensor technology for various industries, including agriculture, IT, IoT, AgriTech, Autonomous, and Sensor Tech. The company's patented wireless soil sensor provides critical insight into data from deep below the surface, offering real-time monitoring of moisture, temperature, and EC/salinity from up to 2 meters underground for up to 20 years maintenance-free. This capability allows customers to optimize water and energy usage, potentially reducing irrigation by up to 50%. Soil Scout's innovation addresses the critical need for understanding what's happening below the soil surface, which is essential for agronomists, sports turf professionals, farmers, and growers. The company's solution overcomes the limitations of current wired technologies and labor-intensive core sampling methods, making it a game-changer in environmental monitoring and resource management. In October 2019, Soil Scout secured Seed Round investment from Husqvarna, a strategic move that not only validates the company's technology and market potential but also provides the necessary capital to further develop and expand its groundbreaking offerings. With its unique value proposition and strong investor backing, Soil Scout is well-positioned to drive significant impact and disruption in the agri-tech and environmental monitoring space.
