Christophe Aubé is the president of Agreenculture. The company founded in 2016 is dedicated to the robotization of agricultural machinery or tractors to take advantage of precision farming and agroecology.
The company develops robotization kits in partnership with agricultural machinists or tractor operators, enabling machines to work on their own without any human supervision.
The company now employs 55 people and works mainly for key accounts in the agricultural industry.
Since 2021, he has also been President of Robagri, a European association that aims to decompartmentalize research, technical institute and the agricultural industry in order to standardize agroecology through the use of robotics. The association runs the “Grand défi de la robotique agricole” national program.
This Challenge has a budget of 42 million euros over 5 years, and work began in 2023.
