Ecorobotix, Swiss agricultural spray firm, raises $150m

Switzerland-based Ecorobotix, the AI-powered Ultra-High Precision (UHP) agricultural spraying company, said it has raised $150 million in Series C and Series D funding rounds.

Ecorobotix said it is driving the future of sustainable agriculture with innovations that improve crop health and efficiency.

“Central to Ecorobotix’s momentum is its Plant-by-Plan AI technology, which can distinguish and treat each individual plant with unmatched precision, using a spray footprint of just a few centimeters,” said Ecorobotix.

“This approach reduces the use of pesticides and other crop protection products by as much as 95% while maintaining effectiveness.

“For growers, the benefits are far-reaching: the safe use of non-selective products, lower input costs, compliance with increasingly strict regulations, and ultimately, higher yields.

“These new advances are made possible thanks to the company’s strong backing from global investors.

“The Series D round was led by Highland Europe, one of the continent’s top venture capital funds, with ECBF and McWin Capital Partners (via McWin Food Tech Fund) also joining as new investors.”

Ecorobotix CEO Dominique Megret said: “These latest investment rounds have allowed us to accelerate our innovation, expand into new crop types, broaden our product range, and bring our advanced crop algorithms to market faster.

“Thanks to the trust of our investors, we are scaling a proven solution to help deliver better-quality food for the world.”
