HempFinder

AI-powered discovery and supply-chain coordination for Europe's industrial hemp economy.

01 / Problem

The problem.

Europe's hemp industry is fragmented. Buyers in textiles, construction and food can't easily find verified growers and processors, and small suppliers stay invisible outside their region.

02 / Solution

The solution.

One searchable map of the European hemp value chain. AI matches what a buyer needs to suppliers who can deliver it, and coordinates the supply chain from field to product.

The Neotron way.

  • Sovereign(applied)
  • Local AI(applied)
  • EU / GDPR-first(applied)
  • Open source(not yet)Not yet
  • Circular(applied)

Supplier data stays in an EU-hosted database, matching runs on our own local models, and the platform exists to grow a bio-based, circular material economy.
