We have successfully completed the incubation phase of the PPNT WAB2 program, placing 4th (scoring 19 out of 20 points) among dozens of emerging technologies. This marks a major milestone in the process of refining our product and validating it from both a market and technological perspective.
What was the incubation program?
PPNT WAB2 is a program supporting the development of innovative projects, particularly those based on new technologies that have real-world applications in the economy. For several months, we worked intensively on optimizing our measurement technologies, business model, and pilot implementation.
Key takeaways and improvements
During the incubation, we focused on:
- Technology testing – we tested the performance of our measurement arrays and the LoRa communication system under real-world conditions.
- Competitive analysis – we compared our solution with existing environmental monitoring systems on the market, which allowed us to better define its unique features.
- Business model validation – through consultations with leading experts, business angels, and technology brokers, we refined the implementation strategy for the Planter System, taking into account the needs of various user groups.
- Integration with existing solutions – we developed our system’s interoperability with other technologies used in precision agriculture.
What’s next?
The completion of the incubation phase marks a step toward the next stage for us, where we will focus on securing funding, conducting implementation tests, and adapting the system to real-world conditions. We also have further research and development ahead of us regarding functionalities related to data analysis and the prediction of stress conditions for plants.
We have received recommendations and the green light to launch in Component IIa—we are applying for a substantial grant of 600,000 PLN.
We would like to thank the PPNT WAB2 team , especially Tomek 🙌🏼, for their substantive support, and everyone who contributed to this stage of our project. The coming months will have a major impact on the future of the Planter System ecosystem.
