Success Stories

QZ Solutions, a Polish technology company, is advancing precision agriculture with its SoilEO system, which uses hyperspectral imaging and AI algorithms to map soil nutrient content and optimise fertilisation strategies. To improve the accuracy of its models, QZ Solutions collaborated with agrifoodTEF Polish Node. The support included access to benchmark datasets and enriched annotations, enabling validation and optimisation of the SoilEO algorithms. This collaboration accelerates SoilEO’s market readiness and strengthens its potential impact on sustainable farming practices.

XiniX AI ApS, a Danish robotics startup, is redefining food inspection with ‘Sprout’ - a soft, flexible robot designed to squeeze into hard-to-reach spaces. Supported by agrifoodTEF Danish Node through the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), the company is testing and validating Sprout’s capabilities in realistic environments to ensure reliability and safety. Recent mechanical upgrades, including a new retraction system and advanced sensor integration, have enhanced Sprout’s readiness for industrial trials and future adoption in food production settings.
