Central role in DIONE, ENVISION, BEACON, LANDSENSE, and GEO-CRADLE — all focused on EO-based monitoring for farming compliance and environmental assessment.
INOSENS DOO NOVI SAD
Serbian agritech SME applying Earth Observation, sensors, and digital tools to precision agriculture and EU agricultural policy compliance.
Their core work
INOSENS is a Serbian agritech SME specializing in precision agriculture solutions that bridge Earth Observation data, sensor technologies, and digital tools for farming. They build and integrate systems for agricultural monitoring, compliance checking under the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and farm-level decision support. Their work spans the full chain from satellite and drone data acquisition to practical farmer-facing applications including insurance risk assessment, smart food supply chains, and gaming-based training for smart farming professionals.
What they specialise in
RECAP, DIONE, ENVISION, and BEACON all target CAP compliance, farmer support, or agricultural insurance — making CAP digitization a core competence.
KATANA, PITCHER (as coordinator), Block.IS, and WATERAGRI address food supply chain optimization, blockchain in agrifood, and agricultural production improvement.
DIATOMIC, Block.IS, and STARTUP3 involve DIH ecosystems, blockchain innovation spaces, and deep-tech startup support.
NOCTURNO (MSCA-RISE on wave propagation for sensing) and BEACON (smart contracts with sensor data) point to growing hardware-side capabilities.
UPSCALE targets push-pull technology for sustainable farming in East Africa, signaling expansion beyond European precision agriculture.
How they've shifted over time
In 2016–2018, INOSENS focused on foundational digital agriculture work: CAP compliance tools for farmers (RECAP), agrifood industry enablement (KATANA), Digital Innovation Hubs (DIATOMIC), and early Earth Observation integration (GEO-CRADLE, LANDSENSE). From 2019 onward, their focus sharpened significantly toward EO-based agricultural monitoring and CAP modernization (DIONE, ENVISION, BEACON), while adding blockchain, agricultural insurance, and smart contracts to their toolkit. The shift shows a company that moved from broad digital innovation participation to a clearly defined niche at the intersection of satellite data, policy compliance, and farm-level decision support.
INOSENS is consolidating around Earth Observation-driven agricultural compliance and expanding into climate adaptation and developing-region agriculture, making them a strong partner for future CAP digitization and sustainable farming projects.
How they like to work
INOSENS operates almost exclusively as a consortium participant (14 of 15 projects), with only one coordination role (PITCHER, a small Innovation Associate grant). They work in large, diverse consortia — 151 unique partners across 41 countries shows they are well-connected and comfortable in big multi-national teams. This is a reliable implementation partner rather than a project leader: they bring technical capability to the table without demanding the driver's seat.
With 151 unique consortium partners across 41 countries, INOSENS has built one of the broader networks you'd expect from a Serbian SME — spanning Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and extending into East Africa through UPSCALE. Their geographic reach far exceeds their home base, reflecting consistent participation in pan-European consortia.
What sets them apart
INOSENS occupies a rare niche as a Serbian SME with deep, proven expertise in connecting Earth Observation technology to practical agricultural policy tools — particularly CAP compliance and monitoring. Their combination of remote sensing, blockchain, sensor tech, and agrifood domain knowledge in a single small company makes them unusually versatile for precision agriculture consortia. For coordinators building proposals, they offer genuine technical contribution at SME cost levels, with a 15-project track record that demonstrates reliability and absorption capacity well above their size.
Highlights from their portfolio
- DIONEDirectly targets modernizing CAP compliance checks using EO, drones, and geo-tagged photos — the clearest expression of INOSENS's core competence and commercial direction.
- KATANATheir highest single-project funding (EUR 347,238) and an early project linking emerging industries to agrifood technology adoption.
- PITCHERTheir only coordinator role — a small but significant Innovation Associate grant focused on short food supply chains, showing entrepreneurial initiative beyond participant roles.
