About Rize:

At Rize, we are building the digital infrastructure powering the future of sustainable rice cultivation across Southeast Asia.

Rice farming supports the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, yet it is also one of the world’s largest contributors to methane emissions, accounting for nearly 12% of global methane emissions and close to 30% across Southeast Asia. The transition toward modern, measurable, and lower-emission farming is no longer optional. It is inevitable.

Rize exists to accelerate that transition.

Founded through a joint venture between *Temasek, 100x100 (Previously Wavemaker Impact), Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and GenZero*, Rize combines climate technology, agricultural intelligence, and last-mile operational infrastructure to help make rice cultivation more productive, resilient, and sustainable.


What We Are Building:

We are building a technology platform that enables large-scale sustainable rice farming through:

  • Field operations and task management
  • Cultivation and farm activity tracking across millions of hectares of paddy fields
  • Agricultural data capture and verification
  • Agri-input supply chain management
  • Access to financing and third-party agricultural services
  • Climate and sustainability reporting infrastructure

This ecosystem helps farmers become more climate-resilient, improve yields, reduce farming costs, and adopt modern agricultural practices with measurable impact.


Our Mission:

  • Decarbonise rice agriculture: Eliminate 100 megatons of carbon emissions by 2040
  • Improve farmer livelihoods: Increase yields, reduce cost-to-farm, and improve access to financing
  • Build trusted agricultural infrastructure: Create a scalable and verifiable platform for sustainable farming practices

  • Vietnam(Mekong Delta region)
  • Indonesia(Java Island and expansion regions)
