Investors to support developers bringing leaf cutting robot to the market
SAIA Agrobotics, a tech spin-off from Wageningen University & Research, will further develop its technology for greenhouse robotics with investments from the Technology Transfer funds of Innovation Industries, SHIFT Invest and the ION+ fund managed by Oost NL.
SAIA Agrobotics develops robots that can take over human actions in greenhouses. For growers with greenhouses, it is becoming increasingly problematic to find employees. This trend is not entirely unexpected, because the work in a greenhouse is physically demanding and monotonous. The global demand for automation in this sector is therefore high.
