Kioti Europe and French company Naïo Technologies have entered into a strategic partnership to develop a new robotic platform.
The two partners will cooperate on several strategic areas, including the industrialisation of robotic agricultural solutions, cost optimisation, and commercial development across European and international markets.
“This collaboration represents a major milestone for Naïo,” said general manager Matthias Carrière. “It will enable us to accelerate the industrialisation of our technologies and significantly expand our reach, both in France and internationally.”
Douglas Kang, CEO of Kioti Europe, says that this strategic partnership represents a significant step forward in the company’s mission to bring practical, innovative robotics to farmers.
“By combining our industrial expertise and global reach with Naïo’s cutting-edge robotic technology, we aim to accelerate the development and deployment of next-generation solutions that make farming more efficient and accessible.”
The first robotic result from the new partnership is expected to be unveiled at the end of this year. Kioti previewed an autonomous version of the HXS1403 tractor at Agritechnica: Kioti gives future flavour – Profi
