Denmark-based AgTech startup Nordetect won €10,000 Priva’s Horti Heroes challenge, which showcased companies innovating in the horticulture space. This competition was designed to discover pioneering technologies in the horticulture space and providing the winner with the potential opportunity to form a strategic partnership with Priva.
Nordetect have developed a novel sensing method based on chemical-based target molecule quantification in record time. The versatile nature of the product suite allows to help not only the agricultural and environmental industry but also companies in other domains in need of rapid nano-sensing.
“There was some stiff competition, but Nordetect’s technology is a real game-changer. Greenhouse growing is all about precision, and having accurate metrics at your fingertips when they are needed is crucial for success. Nordetect achieves in minutes what greenhouses today wait weeks for by relying on lab testing. In the end, the decision was obvious, and we couldn’t be happier to be working with Nordetect.”
Alastair Monk, Priva’s VP Digital Services – Horticulture
With Nordetect, farm managers and agricultural service providers can remove risk and use valid data that is easy to understand and implement to ensure impressive harvests.
