We just received our Impact Certificate from Google Startups for Sustainable Development

At Mytochondria Group, we are proud to be recognized for the work we’re doing to build a more resilient and climate-smart future for African agriculture.

Over the past year, we’ve walked the fields with farmers, listened to the land, and built technology that responds to the urgent need for better soil health, water conservation, and data-driven farming decisions. This certificate is more than an achievement, it’s a reminder that innovation can thrive in the soil, one sensor at a time.

We are not just building hardware.
We’re building hope.
We’re building trust in data.
