AI Meets Agrifood: Belgian Company Wins Big Backing to Make Food Processing Smarter and Greener

With clients in frozen fries and vegetable processing, the Belgian start-up Polysense eyes a more sustainable and profitable future through AI.

Polysense, a rapidly growing Belgian technology start-up, has announced the successful closure of a €2 million seed funding round aimed at accelerating its mission to transform the European food industry using artificial intelligence. The company, which specializes in AI-driven solutions for food production optimization, intends to use the capital injection to scale its market presence and enhance its suite of innovations focused on waste reduction and process efficiency.

“Food manufacturers are literally throwing away their profit margins,” says Yarne De Munck, CEO and co-founder of Polysense. “Polysense ensures they regain their grip on the variability in resources, seasons, and environment. That’s how they can get the most out of their process.”

Disrupting an Industry with Data

Founded in 2022 by De Munck, Lucas Van Dijck (CTO), and Jarne Bogaert (COO), Polysense has built a reputation for helping large-scale food processors optimize operations through advanced AI and computer vision. Its intelligent systems are already in use by well-known industry players such as Agristo (a leading European frozen French fry producer), Roger & Roger (makers of Croky crisps), Coroos (Dutch vegetable processor), ChocDecor, and Poppies Bakeries.
