Saga Robotics develops autonomous Thorvald robots that provide chemical-free crop treatments and other farm services, with a current focus on soft fruit and vineyards.

A partnership built for impact

Our investment supports the commercial scale-up of a versatile, lightweight robotic platform that helps growers control diseases such as powdery mildew, reduce chemical use and automate labour-intensive farm tasks.

“Agriculture is undergoing a profound transition, driven by labour shortages, sustainability requirements, and the need to improve productivity. We believe autonomous solutions will play an increasingly important role in modern farming. What impressed us about Saga Robotics is its ability to translate innovation into commercial deployment, with strong traction in berries and vineyards. Combined with an experienced team and clear market demand, we believe the company is well positioned to support the future of sustainable agriculture.”
