French startup Agreenculture raises €6 million to grow its autonomous farming technology | EU-Startups

Agreenculture, a Toulouse-based startup specialising in the autonomy and safety of agricultural machinery and tractors, has raised €6 million in a Series A equity round to enhance, standardise, and industrialise its products for rapid integration, while strengthening its commercial deployment.

The funding was raised with participation from Supernova Invest, Future Food Fund and Unilis (Unigrains Group). Alongside this round, Agreenculture has secured a credit facility from Crédit Agricole Toulouse 31. 

“Our ambition for every manufacturer is to provide a simple and safe autonomy kit capable of working without local supervision in the field. Providing tangible performance gains and generating cost and time savings for farmers,” says Christophe Aubé, CEO of Agreenculture.

In the context of European AgTech funding in 2025, Agreenculture’s Series A sits alongside a range of investments targeting automation, robotics and sustainability in agriculture.

UK-based CroBio raised around €805k through grant funding to advance soil-microbe technologies aimed at improving nutrient efficiency and water retention. In Spain, Voltrac secured €2 million to develop and launch an electric autonomous tractor platform, placing it in an adjacent segment to Agreenculture with a focus on vehicle autonomy for agricultural and logistics use cases. At a significantly later stage, Swiss scale-up Ecorobotix disclosed total funding of €128 million in 2025 to scale its AI-driven precision farming and weeding robots, highlighting strong investor appetite for proven agricultural robotics platforms.

Taken together, these announcements point to more than €130 million moving through Europe’s AgTech sector in 2025, spanning early-stage biological solutions through to capital-intensive autonomous and precision machinery, with Agreenculture’s French-based raise reinforcing the country’s position within the autonomous agricultural equipment landscape.

“We want manufacturers to focus on their core business. We bring them a reliable, interoperable, ready-to-use product and to accelerate the deployment of autonomy in the fields,” explains Clément Baron, CTO of Agreenculture.

Founded in 2016 by Christophe Aubé (CEO), Clément Baron (CTO) and Emmanuel Goua de Baix (GNSS expert), Agreenculture supports agricultural machinery manufacturers by providing them with both technological solutions and consulting services, enabling their machines and tractors to become autonomous and certified, capable of operating without local supervision.

By integrating the AGC Autonomy Kit, manufacturers can reportedly deploy safe, accurate and agronomically efficient machines – optimising agricultural operations.

Agreenculture provides Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with a plug-and-play AGC Autonomy Kit that allegedly ensures the precision, autonomy, and safety of machines and tractors.

Moreover, the company outlines that with autonomy, soil compaction can be reduced by replacing big machines by multiple small ones, fuel consumption can be minimised, cover cropping becomes more affordable, and application of fertiliser and pesticides becomes even more precise.

Jeroen Kimmels, Managing Partner at Future Food Fund: “As an impact food & agri investor, we were an early investor in and have followed the developments of autonomous tractors and machines closely. Autonomous tractors and machines should not be seen simply as a way to relieve farmers of the burden of driving, but as a unique opportunity to change the way farming is done. We regard the management of Agreenculture as visionaries, spearheading this shift from conventional to regenerative farming. “ 

Agreenculture claims to be the first technology supplier to offer a safe and certifiable Autonomy Kit. The AGC Autonomy Kit enables machines to operate without local supervision thanks to Safencing, a secure geofencing system that ensures machines and their tools remain within defined virtual boundaries.

Utilizing the S-RTK positioning system, the AGC Autonomy Kit is fully compliant with European regulations and can be integrated by machinery manufacturers for off-road autonomous navigation. 

“Agreenculture stands at the forefront of autonomous farming technologies. Their certified, safety-first approach is a decisive advantage for manufacturers seeking reliable automation solutions. We are proud to support a team whose technology is poised to become a market standard in Europe and beyond”, says Romain Sautrau, Partner at Supernova Invest. 

Agreenculture collaborates with notable agricultural manufacturers, including Pellenc with the RX20 vineyard crawler, Kubota with the M7 tractor for field crops and the KFAST sprayer for orchards, Kuhn with the Karl field robot or with cutting edge companies like Fieldworkers and Trabotyx with their autonomous laser weeding robot TOR. 

Jean-François Hurel, Director of Unilis Agtech adds: “As a farmer-backed investor focused on innovations for field crops, we support technologies that enable producers to spend more time on higher-value agronomic decisions and market opportunities – while safely and reliably automating repetitive tasks when it makes sense. Beyond responding to labour constraints, Agreenculture contributes to the productive and sustainable transition of agricultural operations. We look forward to supporting Agreenculture in this new stage of its development.”
