Fullstack Job: CIO

Mission

VineForecast is an early-stage startup with the vision to reduce pesticide use by 25 % on 1.000.000 ha by 2035 for specialty crop farmers (starting in viticulture). To achieve that we are developing a Decision Support System (DSS) to provide farmers with the best information and data to ensure maximum environmentally friendly food production.

VineForecast helps winemakers to mitigate risks of losing their harvest due to fungal infections or weather risks as well as save time in vineyard operations by (1) delivering AI-based disease and weather forecasts and (2) a fully tailored farm management system.
