Decision-grade intelligence for agriculture and agri finance.

Nima has spent nearly 20 years building companies across telecom, space and climate technology. The thread that runs through all of them is simple: the most useful technology is the kind that solves a real problem for a real customer.

Agtelligence is where that belief meets something he cares about deeply. Farmland, forests and soils are among the most valuable assets on the planet, yet the people who finance and insure them often have little reliable information about their condition. Nima founded Agtelligence to help close that gap, turning satellite Earth Observation and environmental data into evidence that lenders, insurers and supply chains can act on, and making good land stewardship easier to recognise and reward.

He is a commercially minded founder who believes research only creates impact when it reaches the people making decisions. Much of Agtelligence's work has been developed in close collaboration with universities and research organisations, including the University of Leicester, Space Park Leicester and the STFC and Harwell Campus community, with support from the UK Space Agency and the European Space Agency. Nima's role is to connect that science to the questions customers actually ask, and to turn it into products they value.

Along the way he has founded and led ventures from first idea to revenue, built teams that bring scientists, engineers and commercial specialists together, and formed partnerships across the public, private and academic sectors.

He is quick to credit those teams and partners. His approach is collaborative and practical: listen closely to customers, be open with partners, and stay focused on delivery. Above all, he remains curious about the planet, the data that describes it, and how better information can help people look after it.
