Curious to see what we have been up to in 2024? It was a year of  milestones, recognitions, and further growth and expansions. Watch our recap video to see the highlights - and get ready for an even bigger year in 2025. Will Thorvald see you in the fields this season?🌱🤖💯

It's all happening here, at Akershus fortress, where @OsloIW opens with Vice Mayor @Oslokommune Anita Leirvik North giving out the innovation award to @SAGARobotics for an agricultural robot named 'Thorvald'. We're discussing Birkeland in 1903 and the electric arc furnace!

Saga Robotics is expanding! 📷 This season, we're operating on an area 4 x larger than last season, thanks to our nationwide expansion in collaboration with nine of the most innovative and leading strawberry growers across Great Britain. 📷 Now treating nearly one in ten strawberries in the nation, this achievement positions Saga Robotics as the leading provider of automated robotic services in the UK. A special thank you to all our forward-thinking customers, including Sandy Booth, owner of The New Forest Fruit Co Ltd, who shares, “Over the past few years, we have been working on integrating robots into our strawberry-growing operation. Moving our focus towards using non-chemical crop protection via robotic technology will help to protect the environment as we strive towards achieving our goals for innovation and sustainability. We are proud to have partnered with an industry-leading company like Saga Robotics, to enable us to make positive changes” Dive into the full article in Fresh Produce Journal here: fruitnet.com/.../thorvald...… Clock House Farm, Rumwood Green Farm Ltd. - Charltons, Hugh Lowe Farms, WB Chambers, The New Forest Fruit Co Ltd, The Summer Berry Company, Angus Growers Ltd, LM Porter and East Scryne Fruit. #SagaRobotics #NationwideExpansion #Thorvald

Lately, we've had the privilege of engaging with key figures from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss the future of technology and sustainability.
