Seabex

What Seabex does

Seabex SAS is a French precision agriculture company founded in 2020 in Paris and headquartered in Orléans, with a regional subsidiary in Tunisia. The company operates a sensorless water management platform that ingests Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (optical) satellite imagery and runs it through proprietary agronomic AI models — including a double-reservoir soil-plant water balance calibrated to the FAO-56 / Penman-Monteith methodology — to produce field-level irrigation recommendations without on-farm sensors. The platform covers 50 crops and 250+ varieties and powers a modular product suite: Agrisense (global irrigation management), Net Irrig (France), Seabex Prime (specialty crops including olive, dates, and tomatoes), Satellite Intelligence (31-index diagnostics), Magonia (multilingual conversational AI agent), the STU Climate Simulator (water exposure projection through 2100 using Copernicus CMIP6 data), and an ESRS E3 / GRI 303 / CDP Water reporting module.

The business operates a subscription SaaS model with three GTM motions. Individual farmers acquire the product via self-serve mobile apps (iOS/Android) with no hardware installation; territories are reached through a channel partnership with 27 Chambers of Agriculture and regional distributors across 6 countries (France, Tunisia, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia); and large food brands, agroindustrials, and cooperatives are addressed through enterprise field sales for CSRD/ESRS E3 reporting and supply-chain water aggregation. Validated outcomes include 16–40% water savings on irrigated crops, 702M litres saved cumulatively since 2020, and independent studies with Chambres d'Agriculture documenting 19–36% savings on irrigated maize.

Seabex has raised a seed round (June 2024) led by Water Unite Impact with Mercy Corps Ventures, Digital Africa, and angel participation, and is currently raising a 3M€ SAFE to fund global scaling. Recognition includes the World Economic Forum's Top 10 Global Startup Innovator in the Zero Water Waste Challenge (2024). As of 2026 the company had 12 employees, monitored 90,000+ hectares, and counted roughly 500 active farmer users; institutional partners include TUNIFERT/Groupe SEPCM (cereal value chain in Tunisia), Centre Technique des Dattes, SUEZ, Agriprod, and the Chambres d'Agriculture du Loiret and du Cher.

Direct peers

• xFarm Technologies: European farm management SaaS combining sensor and satellite data for irrigation, crop protection, and sustainability reporting. Comparable to Seabex on the B2B SaaS irrigation and sustainability-reporting layer, with a stronger footprint in Italy and Switzerland.
• Taranis: AI-powered crop intelligence platform using satellite and aerial imagery for field-level monitoring, yield prediction, and agronomic recommendations. Closely comparable to Seabex on satellite imagery processing and AI-driven per-field diagnostics; differs in heavier emphasis on scouting and crop health than irrigation.
• CropX Technologies: Precision irrigation and soil analytics company combining sensor-based and satellite-derived data to deliver irrigation recommendations. Most direct peer to Seabex in the irrigation decision-support category, distinguished by a sensor-first rather than sensorless architecture.

Emerging players

• Sencrop: European connected weather station network for farmers offering rainfall, microclimate, and irrigation decision-support data. Listed as a Seabex integration partner — overlaps at the in-field data layer rather than the satellite agronomic modeling layer.
• Climate Farmers: European regenerative agriculture platform providing satellite-based monitoring and carbon/water stewardship services to cooperatives and food brands. Comparable in connecting field-level satellite data to corporate sustainability claims and cooperative-level deployment.
• Arable: Crop intelligence platform combining weather stations, satellite data, and analytics for irrigation and yield decisions. Comparable in combining satellite + ground-truth data for irrigation recommendations; smaller scale than Seabex and more sensor-anchored.

Others

• Aquila Genomics / AquaCrop (FAO): FAO's open-source crop-water productivity modeling tool that underpins much of the agronomic methodology Seabex references (FAO-56 / Penman-Monteith). Adjacent ecosystem actor; Seabex's agronomic models build on this public foundation.

Broad incumbents

• Semios: Precision agriculture platform combining IoT sensors, satellite imagery, and pest/disease models for specialty crops. Adjacent comparable to Seabex on the enterprise agronomic AI + climate risk layering and on serving high-value crop verticals (orchards, vineyards).
• Climate FieldView (Bayer): Bayer's flagship precision agriculture platform combining satellite imagery, agronomic modeling, and farm data management. It is the most established large-scale competitor in the same sensorless/satellite-driven agronomic AI category as Seabex, with deeper capital and a global installed base of farmers.
• IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite (formerly The Weather Company): Enterprise weather and climate risk analytics platform providing agricultural climate data, yield modeling, and ESG reporting datasets. Overlaps with Seabex at the climate-risk projection and enterprise sustainability-reporting layer used by large food and beverage companies.
