            About KIREAP

            KIREAP headquartered in Switzerland, is a rapidly growing global / international deep tech start-up tackling major sustainability challenges starting first with the agriculture value chain, moving to Remote Sensing, Logistic Drones, Space and beyond in different phases of the company. We are currently valued at close $200Mn expected to reach unicorn status within a year before launching its IPO. Why we started with Agriculture – we need to bring high end space and aerial and other technologies at no cost to the farmers which represent 1/5th of humanity. We need to secure a sustainable and affordable food system for a growing population within our planetary boundaries. Our solutions include deep-tech technologies both in hardware and software like Gen AI (artificial intelligence, Quantum Computing and Blockchain-enabled digital platform to drones and aerial mobility).
