A Swiss start-up’s funding coup hints at the next competitive front in farm inputs: centimetre‑scale application, compliance-ready data logs and a new liability regime for AI in machinery.
On October 13, Switzerland’s Ecorobotix said it has secured $150mn across a 2024 Series C and a 2025 Series D to accelerate its Plant‑by‑Plant™ artificial‑intelligence spraying platform—and promised a new product unveiling at Agritechnica in November. The D round is led by Highland Europe with ECBF and McWin joining; long‑time backers include BASF Venture Capital and Yara Growth Ventures. The company claims its vision‑guided sprayer can cut chemical use by “as much as 95%”.
