About Us

We use machine learning to solve the biggest challenges in agriculture.

Why is it that neighboring fields, with identical growing conditions, can produce such drastically different yields? This was the question that drove us to establish Prospera, and it’s what still drives us today.

Using our background in data science and machine learning, we explored ways to bring more certainty to an unpredictable industry. As the current agricultural revolution unfolds, digitalization will become the engine of crop production — to meet rising population demands and ensure environmental sustainability.

Taking a ground-up approach, our technology enables growers to make more informed, efficient, and scientific decisions. We make agriculture not only predictable, but optimizable across the entire growth cycle. Our technology advances agricultural productivity by helping growers do more with fewer resources.

Our data-led approach

Optimizing agriculture with data is extraordinarily complex. There are a large number of parameters to consider – their interactions vary and are hard to predict. To meet these challenges, we’ve developed some of the world’s most advanced, artificial intelligence technologies in-house.

We analyse field images to identify pests and diseases, monitor agro-technical activities and collect yield data. We use Deep Learning techniques to solve multi-dimensional planning and assignment optimization problems across massive data sets. And we extract insights from multiple data sources that are harmonized in an advanced Big Data framework.

Our history

From greenhouses to open fields, take a look at Prospera’s journey since our establishment in 2014.

2014

Company founded

We started our journey to understand why similar fields produce dramatically different yields.

2015

Spain Greenhouse Market Entry

Greenhouses provided consistent growth cycles to conduct our research methodologically, collect vast amounts of data and measure results.

2016

Expansion into Mexico Greenhouses

We are the only solar mounting provider capable of full energy infrastructure offerings including transmission, distribution and substation solutions. This efficiency is part of the package when working with Valmont Solar. The quality of our services and our responsiveness differentiate us even further. When you partner with us, you will experience the difference that industry leaders coming together can provide.
