Swiss agtech firm deepens its global footprint as investors back plant-level intelligence for sustainable farming.

Swiss agtech pioneer Ecorobotix has raised a total of $150 million across its Series C and D rounds to accelerate the rollout of its AI-powered Ultra-High Precision (UHP) spraying technology. The company will showcase its next generation of Plant-by-Plant™ systems at Agritechnica 2025 in Hanover, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable crop management as precision agriculture gains global momentum.
Founded in Yverdon-les-Bains, Ecorobotix has built its reputation on a deceptively simple premise: every plant deserves individualized care. Its proprietary AI vision system identifies and treats crops and weeds in real time, with a spray footprint of only a few centimeters. This Plant-by-Plant™ precision enables growers to cut pesticide and fertilizer use by up to 95% without sacrificing yield or crop quality. For farmers, that translates to lower input costs, easier compliance with EU chemical-use restrictions, and improved soil health.
“These latest investment rounds have allowed us to accelerate innovation, expand into new crop types, broaden our product range, and bring advanced crop algorithms to market faster,” said Dominique Mégret, CEO of Ecorobotix. “Thanks to the trust of our investors, we are scaling a proven solution to help deliver better-quality food for the world.”
The company’s $105 million Series D, completed in 2025, was led by Highland Europe, with participation from European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF) and McWin Capital Partners through its McWin Food Tech Fund. The round followed a $45 million Series C in 2024. With a combined €3 billion under management, the three investors represent a cross-section of Europe’s most active funds in sustainability, bioeconomy, and food tech. Highland Europe backs scale-stage technology companies globally; ECBF, a €300 million Article 9 SFDR fund, focuses on the circular bioeconomy; and McWin invests in transformative innovations across the food value chain.
The funding underscores growing investor confidence in agtech solutions that can reconcile productivity with environmental goals. Ecorobotix’s platform uses high-speed deep-learning algorithms to distinguish crop species from weeds and deliver targeted treatments at the centimeter level, even under variable light and terrain conditions. This approach not only slashes agrochemical use but also allows for integration with bio-based crop inputs and regenerative farming systems, a capability that aligns with both regulatory priorities and farmer economics.
Ecorobotix joins a new generation of companies redefining agricultural efficiency through automation and AI. Recent funding rounds for SwarmFarm Robotics in Australia and Hoofprint Biome in the US reflect a similar drive to untether productivity from environmental cost. As global agriculture faces the dual challenge of feeding a growing population while cutting emissions, precision spraying and real-time AI field intelligence are becoming core components of the climate-smart farm.
At Agritechnica, Ecorobotix will introduce expanded applications for orchards, vineyards, and vegetable crops—segments where pinpoint precision and selectivity are essential. The company has already seen accelerating adoption across France, Germany, and Switzerland, with pilots now underway in North America and Latin America.
The company’s momentum also mirrors a broader investment trend toward climate-smart agriculture, integrating systems that address human, planetary, and economic health together. Funds like ECBF and McWin are increasingly backing technologies that pair measurable ESG impact with operational ROI, signaling a maturing European agtech ecosystem built on science-driven performance.
Looking ahead, Ecorobotix aims to transform its precision spraying platform into a decision-support system for regenerative agriculture, linking plant-level data to farm management and soil analytics. With proven field results, strong financial backing, and a clear vision for a low-input, high-intelligence farming model, Ecorobotix is emerging as one of Europe’s most compelling examples of how AI and sustainability can work hand in hand; one droplet, and one plant, at a time.
