Cropin joins the Forum’s Global Innovators community, engaging with the Centre for Nature and Climate to help advance sustainable, technology-led solutions in food and agriculture.
INDIA: The World Economic Forum has named Cropin a Global Innovator, recognising the company’s continued leadership in agricultural innovation following its earlier recognition as a Technology Pioneer. The Innovator Communities are a group of the world’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups at the forefront of technological and business model innovation. Through this engagement, Cropin will work with the Forum’s Centre for Nature and Climate, contributing its expertise in agri-food technology.
The Global Innovator recognition goes to companies proving that new technology can move the needle on the world’s toughest challenges, with results to show for it. Cropin’s selection reflects a decade of applying artificial intelligence to real agricultural conditions and challenges across 103 countries, at a time when climate volatility and food security have become urgent priorities for farmers, governments and agri-food businesses alike.
“Climate change is among the most consequential forces of our time, and agriculture feels its effects first and hardest. The farming communities most exposed to climate shocks are often the least equipped to adapt. We believe AI can change that by giving them the ability to anticipate risk and respond before it becomes loss. Being named a Global Innovator gives us a platform to carry that belief into the global conversations shaping agriculture’s climate-resilient future,” said Krishna Kumar, Founder and CEO, Cropin.
World Economic Forum Global Innovators help shape the future by bringing new ideas and innovations to address some of the world’s most pressing long-term challenges. As a Global Innovator, Cropin will contribute to World Economic Forum initiatives focused on climate resilience, sustainable food systems and the future of agriculture. The company will bring practical insight from digitising more than 30 million acres of farmland, building intelligence over 1 billion acres, and supporting over 7 million farmers, with an emphasis on making food production more predictable, resilient and sustainable in the climate impacted era.
