Innovation

Industry Problem

Farmers need crop-specific fertilizer recommendations that reduce input cost and environmental impact without requiring complex on-farm technology installation.

R&D Focus

Machine-learning fertilizer recommendation, satellite and farm-data integration, precision agriculture, and aerospace control systems.

Innovative Solution

Sanzar combines farmer data, satellite information, laboratory tests, and agronomic models to recommend optimized fertilizer applications; optional drone and sensor data can improve precision.

Solution Effectiveness

The company reports more than 30% lower crop-production costs and more than 10% productivity improvement in selected projects.

About

Sanzar is a Spanish private entity founded in 2019 and whose sector of activity is aerospace and agro-tech, specifically, oriented to the design and integration of aerospace vehicle control systems. In space we are able to provide specific control for agile satellites with high angular speeds (3-6o/s) through a new patented configuration. This solution will reduce the weight of satellite control (>100%) and increase its manoeuvrability (>75%), allowing more efficient operations in manoeuvres such as the adjustment of cameras and other satellite observation objects. In the case of air vehicles, it allows them to operate where aircraft are currently limited, increasing manoeuvrability by more than 50% and allowing them to operate in conditions of low or no speed and short takeoffs. In the precision agriculture sector, it markets software for the optimal reduction and recommendation in the application of fertilisers using machine learning models, improving the sustainability and yield of crops. Our technology is modular: it uses farmer data and satellite information; with the support of laboratory tests and international experts to obtain recommendations that allow you to save more than thirty percent in the exploitation of the crop and increases in productivity of more than ten percent. The farmer does not require any technological implementation, although he can include drone images and sensor data to increase accuracy and efficiency. We currently have 3 patents, 1 registered trademark and one registered software. With a business intellectual property policy aimed at generating value and scientific progress. Today we are in Europe, South America and North Africa. Our services are validated by experts, universities and research institutions. Our services are validated by experts, universities and research institutions. We have experience in European programs such as INNOWWIDE (Eureka), NEOTEC (marketing of aerospace control HW), ICEX NEXT (internationalization) and ESA BIC (European Space Agency Incubation) with a public-private investment of €900,000 for the last 2 years and a turnover of €100K in 2021.
