Proon Tech provides an AI‑driven platform that automates the entire tree‑care lifecycle—from seed planting to harvest—using robotics, 3D bioprinting, and sensor‑based monitoring. The system targets forest and orchard owners, delivering higher survival rates, lower labor costs, and data that can be monetized as climate‑offset credits. Revenue is generated through subscription access to the Proon.ing app, hardware leasing, and service contracts for the WaterSeed™ technology.

Problem
Reforestation efforts often face challenges due to the manual labor required for planting and the low survival rates of seedlings, especially in remote or difficult-to-access areas. Traditional methods can be inefficient and costly, hindering large-scale reforestation projects.
Solution
Proon-Tech develops AI-enhanced autonomous nurseries and bio-printed SCION seed pods to facilitate efficient reforestation, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. The company's automated nurseries use AI to optimize seed germination and seedling growth in controlled environments. SCION seed pods are customizable, 3D-bioprinted structures designed to enhance seedling survival rates. This technology aims to reduce manual labor, accelerate orchard growth, improve yield, and promote a tangible environmental impact for landowners and forestry organizations.
Target Audience
Proon-Tech primarily serves landowners, forestry organizations, wildlife associations, and government entities involved in reforestation projects.
Features
- Autonomous nurseries equipped with AI-enhanced laboratory equipment for species acclimation.
- Customizable 3D-bioprinted SCION seed and seedling pods designed to boost survival rates.
- Automated seed germination in simulated real-world environment scenarios.
- Proprietary technology for precise replanting activities in secluded and disaster-affected areas.
