AGENSO

AGENSO, founded in Athens, Greece in 2016, develops and provides technological solutions for the agricultural and environmental sectors. The company originated as a spin-off from the Agricultural University of Athens, established by a team aiming to commercialize research ideas and products developed over years of involvement in national and European Union projects. The founding team's background includes individuals with master's degrees and doctorates in agricultural engineering, information technology, and environmental management. The CEO is Zisis Tsiropoulos.

The company's business model is centered on providing precision agriculture services and developing ICT and IoT solutions. These offerings cater to individual farmers, farmers' cooperatives, and participants in large-scale research projects. Key products include smart irrigation systems, weather monitoring and forecasting devices, smart spraying technologies, and farm management information systems (FMIS). These systems use IoT sensors for remote monitoring and automation, operating on cellular networks to ensure connectivity in remote locations and provide real-time data access via a web platform. The company commercializes its products through an e-shop, featuring solutions categorized by use—such as irrigation and weather stations—or by sensor type.

AGENSO is heavily involved in research and development, frequently participating in EU-funded projects like Horizon 2020. This participation has led to the development of various software applications and an agricultural robot. The firm has received significant funding through grants, including a €1.57M grant from the European Union in November 2020. Its solutions address sustainable agricultural production, water management, and environmental protection, aligning with EU objectives for environmental sustainability.
