AGRIST株式会社【公式】 is a venture company that designs the future of agriculture with technology. As the average age of farmers is increasing, and there is a shortage of labor for crop harvesting, AGRIST aims to address these challenges by developing automatic harvesting robots. Since 2017, the company has been conducting study meetings with farmers in Shin-Tomi Town, Miyazaki Prefecture, to understand the necessity of robots in agriculture.

In 2019, they successfully developed a prototype and secured funding from local financial institutions and venture capitalists. In 2020, AGRIST delivered data to the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization for a smart agriculture demonstration experiment, winning numerous awards in domestic business plan contests. In 2022, they established a profitable agricultural model by starting their own farming operations through the pre-series B round of funding.

They also won the Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries Minister's Award at the 10th Robot Awards in October 2022 and received the Innovation Award at CES2023, the world's largest consumer electronics and IT exhibition. AGRIST is committed to revolutionizing agriculture through technological advancements and collaboration with industry leaders
