Company Profile
Centrale Valutativa S.r.l. is an innovative start-up founded in January 2016 by seven partners who had been working together over the past decade, as a team, in a big consulting company operating in agro-environmental field.
We have been involved in the past decades in the evaluation services related to rural development programmes as a part of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Evaluation is a discipline which requires the application of research and methods in order to gauge the evidences of policy effects. With this respect, we progressively became aware that part of our evaluative research could have been turned into a business opportunity addressed to the environmental impacts’ mitigation of the agricultural and agribusiness activities.
Evaluation still remains company’s core business, but we now offer other environment related services like:
- EO-based services for farmers, insurance companies and golf courses: TETHYS – Smart Farming;
- Innovation brokerage and advisory services promoting circular economy solutions for a better management of waste in agriculture and agribusiness sector;
- Carbon foot print applications at farms and industries level in the agriculture and agribusiness sector, to estimate greenhouse gas emissions and to obtain carbon credit certificates.
As for earth-observation based services, we’ve received some awards:
- Winners of 2017 ESA-BIC Incubation
- Third place in 2017 Copernicus Masters B2B Challenge
- Participation to the 2018 Copernicus Accelerator programme
- Finalist in 2018 Copernicus Masters Land Monitoring Challenge
- Winners of 2019 Copernicus Incubation
The team of Centrale Valutativa is made up of seven partners with 20 years of proven experience in the agricultural field.
The strengths of our team rely on:
- The multidisciplinary background (3 agronomists, 2 economists, a statistician, a GIS and EO-data expert)
- The experience gained over the past decades in the agricultural area and the contacts we’ve built in it
- The applied research and methods carried out in the evaluation activities on environmental impact assessment
- The cooperative network of researchers focusing on environmental and other issues, which has been consolidated in the past decades
- The strong motivational attitude of new entrepreneurs
