PATS, a Delft-based agri-tech startup, has secured €2.7 million in seed funding to enhance its AI-powered pest management solutions, aiming to replace insecticides with technology. The company plans to use the funds to develop its pest detection and intervention systems, expand internationally, and reduce reliance on chemical sprays with innovative tools like bat-inspired drones, targeting growers facing labour shortages and stricter pesticide regulations.
AI continues to find a home in the agriculture industry, as a partnership between an industry leader and a start-up will create a platform for developing sustainable and innovative crops.
