Ecosystem Intelligence in agriculture
SONEAN was designated as „innovative young company“ in 2015 by the German Ministry for Economics and Energy and became part of Germany`s Excellence in Big Data campaign rolled out globally in 2016. Since 2015 SONEAN has been monitoring the global agricultural network on a daily basis covering today over 40,000 + organizations across 150+ markets around the world in a highly interconnected manner. Agriculture is of great importance to our societies and understanding the network in which companies, producers, farmers, universities, and all kinds of entities are operating is crucial to identify opportunities and threats globally but also provide superior intelligence to make better informed decisions. Agriculture for us however is a much broader concept as it touches so many other industries, and stakeholders including governments which of course form a crucial part of our network model. Our agricultural ecosystem encompasses the entire value chain from farm to fork, and all kinds of technologies/machines used and in development across the world. We not only understand the networks in which producers, OEMs, universities, intermediaries (such as importers, distributors, and dealers) operate and what technology they use but also monitor latest state of the art technology, even when it is still in the prototype or idea stage. Linking our organizational network model in agriculture to daily developments from across the world we generate unique insights, and identify patterns, and developments which otherwise would remain hidden. Our proprietary technology and process allows us to analyze 8-year data in an unparalleled way. Thanks to AGCUMEN our clients gain access to a unique web based Intelligence as a Service solution which provides them answers to complex questions with regard to the agricultural value chain. As part of AGCUMEN we of course also cover the sustainability part including carbon emissions related tech, alternative engines (hybrid, electrified, hydrogen etc.) and alternative energy forms (including solar, wind, biomass, hydrogen and many others), highly disruptive innovations shaping agriculture and more.
