AGRICIRCLE AG

Their core work

AgriCircle is a Swiss agritech SME building digital tools for sustainable farming. Their H2020 work centres on connecting sensor data, satellite observations, and farm-management software into decision-support systems for farmers and advisors. They contribute the digital platform and data-interoperability layer that lets diverse agricultural data sources talk to each other, and they bring that capability into large EU consortia working on climate-neutral and data-driven agriculture.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Their early H2020 focus (ATLAS, 2019-2023) was deeply technical: building the digital plumbing — interoperability, standardization, sensor integration, and machine-learning-based decision support. In the more recent ClieNFarms project (2022-2025) the emphasis shifts outward, toward participatory methods, multicriteria assessment of livestock and crop systems, and scaling up sustainable practice. The trajectory is clear: from building the platform to applying it to climate-impact and systems-level farming questions.

They are moving from pure digital infrastructure toward applying their platform to climate and sustainability outcomes, making them a useful partner for consortia tackling Farm-to-Fork and Green Deal targets.

How they like to work

AgriCircle participates as a partner, not a coordinator, but they are comfortable inside very large consortia — their two projects span 93 unique partners across 18 countries. This profile fits a specialist SME that brings a specific digital capability to big multi-actor projects rather than running them. For a partner, that means reliable delivery of the digital/data component within a wider agricultural research agenda.

Through just two projects they have touched 93 partners in 18 countries, indicating embeddedness in pan-European agri-digital networks. The Swiss base plus broad EU reach points to a cross-border operator rather than a locally anchored firm.

What sets them apart

Most agricultural H2020 participants are either research institutes or large agri-industry players; AgriCircle is a small Swiss tech company that sits in the middle, translating sensor and satellite data into tools farmers can use. Switzerland's non-EU status makes them a relatively uncommon profile in H2020 food projects, giving consortia access to Swiss digital-agriculture capability without technology gaps. Their footprint in both a digital-infrastructure project (ATLAS) and a climate-systems project (ClieNFarms) is unusual — they bridge IT and agronomic sustainability.

Highlights from their portfolio

• ATLAS
  Their largest H2020 engagement (EUR 2.0M) and the project that defines their core capability — agricultural data interoperability, sensors, and machine-learning-driven decision support.
• ClieNFarms
  Marks a clear pivot toward climate-neutral farming and participatory, multicriteria approaches, showing they are expanding beyond pure tech into systems-level sustainability work.
