Seoul, South Korea – October 29, 2026 – SaeFarm Co., Ltd., a South Korean AgTech enterprise specializing in satellite-based AI precision agriculture solutions, today announced that it will present its flagship platform, SSMFM (Satellite-based Multi-Farm Monitoring AI Service), at Web Summit 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal, driving commercial expansion across European and Latin American markets.
A New Chapter in Satellite-Driven Precision Agriculture
Founded in 2022, SaeFarm was established to overcome the physical limitations of traditional farm management through advanced satellite remote sensing and machine learning technologies. While conventional smart farming systems rely heavily on high-cost on-site IoT sensors, ground weather stations, and drone flights, SaeFarm delivers scalable, hardware-free monitoring capable of analyzing vast agricultural territories simultaneously.
The company’s core technological foundation combines multi-constellation satellite imagery with proprietary crop-specific AI models to analyze over 40 distinct crop varieties worldwide. By translating multi-spectral orbital data into actionable agricultural intelligence, SaeFarm empowers agribusinesses, agricultural cooperatives, and public institutions to optimize input resources, boost crop productivity, and mitigate climate-related operational risks.
Core Capabilities and Technical Features of SSMFM
SSMFM integrates multi-spectral satellite observations and artificial intelligence to provide real-time, farm-wide visibility without requiring physical infrastructure installations:
• Comprehensive Crop Health Monitoring: The platform tracks vegetation vitality, chlorophyll density, and nitrogen content across individual crop zones, allowing growers to detect nutrient deficiencies early and implement precise fertilizer applications.
• Soil Moisture and Hydrological Analytics: Using multi-band satellite data, SSMFM measures soil moisture dynamics and water stress, enabling precise irrigation scheduling that conserves water in arid and drought-prone regions.
• Proactive Anomaly and Pest Detection: Deep learning algorithms identify abnormal growth patterns, early pest infestations, and localized disease outbreaks, helping operators prevent large-scale crop losses.
• Data-Driven Yield Prediction: The system models historical climate trends, seasonal vegetation indices, and regional environmental factors to deliver accurate pre-harvest yield forecasts, improving supply chain coordination and market planning.
• Hardware-Free Scalability: The platform operates solely through orbital imagery and cloud computing, eliminating capital expenditure and maintenance costs associated with physical field sensors and specialized ground-based hardware.
Demonstrated Global Performance and Institutional Recognition
SaeFarm has established a proven track record, providing precision monitoring services across more than 60,000 cumulative hectares of agricultural land worldwide. In South Korea, the company collaborates with food and retail enterprises such as Pulmuone, agricultural organizations including NongHyup, and local governments such as Gyeongsangnam-do Province, while participating in government-backed smart farming initiatives.
Internationally, SaeFarm has scaled its service footprint across Asia, managing precision monitoring across approximately 25,000 hectares in Indonesia alongside operational projects in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Uzbekistan. In Europe, the company is executing a paid Proof of Concept (PoC) with a local agricultural enterprise in Serbia. In Latin America, SaeFarm is validating its platform across mega-scale commercial farmland in Brazil to advance large-scale commercial licensing.
In recognition of its technology and market potential, SaeFarm was named a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree and has been selected for global economic delegations and enterprise acceleration programs associated with APEC and the G20.
“Agriculture is facing unprecedented pressures from climate disruption, resource constraints, and rising food demand,” said Jeong Seung Hwan, CEO of SaeFarm Co., Ltd. “By pairing multi-satellite data with regional AI models, SSMFM delivers field-level insights across thousands of hectares without requiring a single ground sensor. Web Summit 2026 provides the optimal stage to demonstrate our real-world agricultural analytics to European agribusinesses, agricultural cooperatives, and government bodies seeking sustainable digital transformation.”
European Market Expansion and Strategic Road Ahead
At Web Summit 2026, SaeFarm will demonstrate live platform operations and real-world field analytics cases to potential European distributors, enterprise clients, and institutional investors.
The company is positioning France as its primary commercial bridgehead for entry into the European market, targeting regional demand for sustainable farming practices, digital agriculture transitions, and compliance with European Union environmental standards. Concurrently, SaeFarm is leveraging its Brazilian pilot engagements to solidify multi-year commercial enterprise contracts across Latin America’s large-scale grain production corridors.
Looking ahead, SaeFarm aims to refine its crop-specific AI models to adapt to diverse regional biomes and establish long-term software service agreements with international agribusiness leaders and AgTech distribution networks.
