Agrikola AI

agrikola.ai ↗ ·Sant Cugat del Vallès ·Pre-seed

Agrikola AI is a Catalan agri-robotics startup building autonomous electric ground robots (UGVs) and cloud software for chemical-free crop protection. Its patent-pending Wagus UVC robot uses ultraviolet-C light and computer vision to control powdery and downy mildew in horticulture, orchestrated by its Nimbus cloud automation platform, sold on a hardware-enabled SaaS model (robots at cost plus a subscription and per-hectare fee). It closed a ~€815k pre-seed in July 2026 led by Zubi Capital with Norrsken VC, Masia VC and Ona Capital, ran its first commercial pilot in 2025 with UPC and AgrifoodTEF support, and made its first sale to Dutch onion-seed multinational De Groot en Slot. It is headquartered in Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona area).
