Core contributor in DEMETER (agri-food data interoperability), SmartAgriHubs (digital innovation hubs), AFarCloud (cloud-based farming), DataBio (data-driven bioeconomy), and InnoVar (variety testing databases).
LESPROJEKT SLUZBY SRO
Czech SME building geospatial data platforms and IoT integration tools for precision agriculture, soil management, and crop monitoring across Europe.
Their core work
Lesprojekt is a Czech IT services company specializing in geospatial data, land use management, and digital agriculture solutions. They build software tools and data platforms that help farmers, land managers, and researchers collect, integrate, and analyze spatial and environmental data. Their work spans IoT sensor integration, interoperability frameworks for agricultural data, and decision-support systems for precision farming. Across seven H2020 projects, they consistently provide the digital infrastructure layer — connecting sensors, satellites, and databases into usable tools for the agri-food sector.
What they specialise in
Central role in SIEUSOIL (Sino-EU land use management), STARGATE (microclimate management), and DataBio (bioeconomy including forestry).
Contributed IoT and sensor expertise in DEMETER, AFarCloud (cyber-physical farming systems), and STARGATE.
Received their largest single funding (EUR 544K) in InnoVar for next-generation crop variety testing using databases and machine learning.
Participated in SmartAgriHubs, contributing to digital agriculture innovation hub networks across Europe.
How they've shifted over time
Their early projects (2017–2018) covered broad ground: bioeconomy data across agriculture, fishery, and forestry (DataBio), plus cyber-physical farming systems and autonomous vehicles (AFarCloud). From 2019 onward, their focus narrowed and matured toward IoT-based precision agriculture, data interoperability standards, and soil/land management — as seen in DEMETER, SIEUSOIL, and InnoVar. The shift signals a move from general digital agriculture exploration to specialized data platform and interoperability work.
Moving toward becoming a specialist in agricultural data integration and interoperability standards, making them a strong partner for projects needing to connect diverse farm data sources into unified platforms.
How they like to work
Always a participant, never a coordinator — they join large consortia and contribute technical components rather than leading project governance. With 314 unique partners across 32 countries from just 7 projects, they operate in very large multi-partner consortia (averaging 45+ partners per project). This suggests they are a reliable, low-friction technical partner comfortable integrating into complex international teams without needing to drive the agenda.
Remarkably broad network for an SME: 314 unique consortium partners across 32 countries, built through participation in flagship large-scale EU projects like DEMETER and SmartAgriHubs. Their reach spans all major EU agricultural research nations, with additional international connections through SIEUSOIL (Sino-EU cooperation).
What sets them apart
For an SME, Lesprojekt has an unusually deep portfolio in agricultural data platforms — seven projects all orbiting the same domain creates genuine accumulated expertise rather than scattered participation. Their combination of geospatial/land management roots with modern IoT and data interoperability skills makes them particularly valuable for projects that need to bridge legacy GIS systems with new sensor-driven agriculture. They also bring rare Sino-EU experience through SIEUSOIL, useful for projects with international soil or land management dimensions.
