The third edition of the International Congress on Artificial Intelligence Applied to the Agri-Food Chain, SembrAI 2025, will take place on September 25 and 26, 2025 at the University of Córdoba, and Plantae is honored to have its CEO and co-founder, Samuel López, participate as a featured speaker.
What is SembrAI 2025?
Organized by the European Innovation Foundation (INTEC) in collaboration with the University of Córdoba, this International Congress has established itself as a leading event in Europe for the agri-food sector, particularly for its focus on artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
SembrAI brings together researchers, technology companies, startups, public institutions, investors, and international organizations, all committed to addressing the major challenges facing the agricultural industry: sustainability, traceability, efficiency, innovation, supply chain management, and smart farming.
Why will Plantae attend the SembrAI 2025 International Congress?
The participation of Samuel López as a featured speaker reinforces Plantae's commitment to real innovation in agriculture. This will be an opportunity to:
- To present Plantae's vision regarding technological solutions for agriculture, including smart irrigation systems, sensors, climate monitoring, data analysis platforms, etc.
- Connecting with other stakeholders in the ecosystem—such as startups, researchers, investors, and public institutions—opens doors for collaborations, partnerships, joint projects, and allows Plantae to share best practices and use cases.
- Demonstrate how AI can transform the agri-food supply chain, not as a mere promise, but through tangible applications, accessible and scalable tools, and solutions adapted to diverse realities. This approach aligns perfectly with Plantae's technology.
