Growa
This pitch was rather innovative as we heard a basilic plant, or rather a machine plugged to the plant, instructing us to pour water on it! Indeed, this Italian startup aims at creating a smart agriculture for small and medium farmers. They have developed a machine, with a specific algorithm, to be plugged into the soil that can detect diseases, humidity level. The machine then informs the farmers on the status of the diseases or any changes in their crops. The machine can be controlled directly via a smartphone.
