Almanac Acquires Gro Intelligence IP to Bolster Agricultural Data Insights

Almanac, formerly known as Semios, has acquired the intellectual property and assets of Gro Intelligence, a recently shut-down ag intelligence platform. This acquisition adds significant public data sets and AI models to Almanac's capabilities. By integrating Gro's AI-powered data with its existing network of over 500,000 sensors, Almanac aims to strengthen its real-time actionable insights spread across 130 million acres globally. The acquisition excludes Gro's liabilities, focusing solely on its valuable data assets. Gro's previous clientele was diverse, including large CPG entities like Unilever. Almanac's strategy involves enhancing the use cases of Gro's models to benefit their core stakeholders, particularly within agriculture while potentially expanding into agriculture finance and insurance sectors. The move is positioned as a leap toward revolutionizing agricultural practices and driving sustainability. This is facilitated by integrating diverse data sets into a seamless experience for stakeholders. The company has rebranded as Almanac to unify its offerings and expand its reach, focusing primarily on North America and Australia, with growth interests in other global regions.
