Ofir Schlam, Taranis’ President & Co-Founder, said: “We are honored to be part of a prestigious list of companies that aim to solve some of the most important problems. We’ve completed a strong season, serving millions of acres across the US using advanced AI, submillimeter image technologies, and deep agronomy expertise.
