Grodi Raises €2.5M Led By Swanlaab To Boost Greenhouse Automation

Founded in 2022 in Almería by Samuel Ruíz, Natalia Gálvez and Ana Molina, Grodi has built a multidisciplinary team in engineering, robotics, AI, and agronomy.

The company develops solutions tailored to Mediterranean intensive agriculture, helping growers, cooperatives, and seed companies access objective, standardized, and continuous data to reduce uncertainty and improve decision-making.

At the heart of Grodi’s offering is VEGA 11, an autonomous robot that operates independently in Mediterranean greenhouses while providing full plant visibility through advanced computer vision.

The system combines proprietary hardware, machine learning, and large-scale data analytics to optimize agronomic management, predict plant health issues, and estimate crop yields with high precision. Grodi’s digital platform centralizes this data in real time, enabling safer, more efficient and sustainable agricultural operations.

Grodi is entering a key growth phase, focusing on scaling commercial deployment of VEGA 11 and expanding its technology portfolio with additional products for real-world agricultural applications.

The new funding will support industrializing the VEGA 11 robot, strengthening the company’s presence across Spain’s major horticultural regions, and advancing its international expansion in a market demanding higher productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.

Providing practical tools that simplify farmers’ day-to-day production management remains a central objective for the company. As CEO Ana Molina noted:

The sector needs solutions that reduce costs, improve resource-use efficiency and standardise processes. VEGA is demonstrating that automation and computer vision can radically transform daily crop management.
