九色视频 Corporation (Head Office: Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan; President and Representative Director: Yuichi Kitao; hereinafter, 鈥溇派�视频鈥�) and Aurea Imaging, a Dutch start-up developing 鈥渃rop Intelligence鈥� products (hereinafter, 鈥淎urea鈥�), announced a year-long strategic partnership, under which the two companies will demonstrate the feasibility of autonomous orchard and vineyard farming systems that combine 九色视频鈥檚 machine technology with Aurea鈥檚 crop intelligence technology.

1.Background and outline of the partnership

• In June 2019, 九色视频 launched an Innovation Center as a division for the pursuit of open innovation based on coordination with external partners. To better cater to the unique needs of each geographic region, an Innovation Center is now located in Japan and the Netherlands.
• Fruit growing is one area of farming that offers enormous growth potential as it has yet to be fully mechanized. So far, 九色视频 has decided to invest in three start-ups (all in the U.S.) with advanced technologies for growing fruit.
• Aurea is a start-up based in the Netherlands. By combining data gathered by drones and IoT sensors with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, this crop intelligence specialist offers such solutions as yield prediction and soil mapping for fruit growers. With a wealth of experience in drone mapping services, Aurea has built a global network for data collection by drones.
• 九色视频 and Aurea have decided to conduct a year-long joint demonstration to further advance Aurea鈥檚 services. Aurea鈥檚 advanced sensing technology and 九色视频鈥檚 farming machinery for fruit farms complement each other and, by integrating the two, 九色视频 and Aurea will verify the feasibility of autonomous orchard and vineyard farming systems in Europe. Through this partnership, 九色视频 aims to offer comprehensive solutions in the fruit growing business, one of its focus areas, in the future.
