Founded in 2021, Clinic Agro is dedicated to improving agriculture and livestock farming. It aims to optimize farm profitability, increase productivity and food quality, and manage resources more efficiently. The company manufactures and markets soil analysis kits connected to its eponymous application.
Clinic Agro's flagship product, the Kit Clinicsol, is a smart, connected tool that measures various soil parameters such as acidity, NPK levels (nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium), temperature, humidity, and salinity. Comprised of a housing unit, a sensor, and a power source, it also helps identify the best-suited crops for the soil, determine the optimal planting time, and assess water quality for irrigation.
In addition to Clinic Agro, Pyrrus Koudjou founded Promagric in 2016, a virtual marketplace that directly or indirectly connects farmers and buyers of agricultural products to facilitate sales transactions.
Pyrrus Koudjou also leads several other projects, including Buntou, AwaData, and Tchossa IA. Buntou aims to secure remote transactions for buying, selling, and investing for both individuals and professionals. AwaData is a project by M & T Consulting, an IT services and consulting company. Tchossa IA is an intelligent conversational agent.
A graduate of the ISEM-IBCG university group, now known as the Institut Universitaire des Leaders (USL), Koudjou earned a professional degree in software management, database administration, and network and system administration in 2014.
In 2019, he won the Orange Social Venture Prize in Africa and the Middle East (POESAM) in Cameroon.
