About the company
In a world with an ever-growing population with climate and sustainability challenges and with changing consumer demands, the global food industry is going through a profound transformation.
Did you know that 815 million people go to bed hungry every night. At the same time, 1/3 of all food being produced globally is wasted.
The Speria business is all about changing this. Not only to improve animal welfare, drive yield and sustainability for actors in the global food supply chain, but also to help to feed the world by enabling change in the way we farm and produce food.
Our contribution is to create a digital ecosystem including data capture platforms as connected controllers and IoT and sensors, that together with predictive AI and real-time monitoring allow farmers and growers to improve animal welfare and maximize production while minimizing waste and Co2 emissions – ensuring a transparent and sustainable food production for a growing population.
Speria – spearheading digitalization by providing innovative solutions enabling the green transition.
