AGRICULTURAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

Their core work

AGENSO is a Greek agri-tech SME specializing in precision agriculture, integrated pest management, and water circularity for Mediterranean farming systems. They develop and deploy decision support systems, smart spraying technologies, and AI-driven tools that help farmers reduce pesticide use, detect crop diseases early, and close water loops in food production. Their work bridges digital technologies (robotics, GNSS, big data analytics) with practical farming challenges in vineyards, olive groves, and vegetable crops. They also support agri-food innovation ecosystems through digital innovation hubs and deep-tech startup acceleration.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

AGENSO's early work (2018) centered on specific technical challenges: food safety biosensors for mycotoxin detection, disease prediction models, IPM decision support systems, and water loop closure — relatively focused, lab-to-field transfer projects. From 2020 onward, their portfolio shifted toward broader precision agriculture themes — smart farming, biopesticide strategies, fossil-energy-free agriculture, and AI-based seasonal prediction — indicating a move from component-level R&D toward integrated farm management platforms. Their 2021 entry into GNSS-based precision farming and big data analytics signals growing capability in digital agriculture infrastructure.

AGENSO is moving from narrow crop-protection tools toward integrated, AI-driven sustainable farming systems — expect them to pursue projects combining digital agriculture with environmental resource management.

How they like to work

AGENSO operates almost exclusively as a consortium participant (10 of 11 projects), with one notable exception as coordinator of AccelWater, their largest-funded project. With 163 unique partners across 26 countries, they maintain a broad, non-repetitive network typical of an SME that brings specialized agri-tech implementation expertise to diverse consortia. Their consistent role as participant in Innovation Action projects suggests they are valued for practical deployment and demonstration rather than fundamental research.

AGENSO has collaborated with 163 unique partners across 26 countries, giving them one of the wider networks for a Greek agri-tech SME. Their Mediterranean focus (water, vineyards, olives) naturally connects them to Southern European partners, but their thematic range ensures pan-European reach.

What sets them apart

AGENSO sits at the intersection of digital technology and Mediterranean agriculture — a niche where few SMEs combine hands-on farming knowledge with AI, robotics, and sensor expertise. Their AccelWater coordination role demonstrates they can lead complex water-food nexus projects, not just contribute. For consortium builders, they offer a Greek SME perspective that satisfies geographic diversity requirements while delivering genuine technical capability in precision agriculture and IPM systems.

Highlights from their portfolio

• AccelWater
  Their only coordinated project with the largest funding (EUR 918K) — demonstrates leadership capability in water circularity for food and beverage industries.
• OPTIMA
  Showcases their core technical DNA: bio-PPPs, disease prediction models, IPM decision support, and smart precision spraying — all in one integrated project.
• agROBOfood
  Positions AGENSO within Europe's agri-food robotics innovation network, connecting them to digital innovation hubs and open-call ecosystems.
