Cologne-based Eternal.ag emerged from stealth with EUR 8M to deploy Harvester, an AI-powered autonomous robot that operates 22 hours a day in tomato greenhouses, targeting Europe's 30% greenhouse labor decline since 2010. Their simulation-first approach trains robots in virtual greenhouses, cutting iteration cycles from months to days before real-world deployment. As the European agricultural robot market heads toward $8.07B by 2033, Eternal.ag's modular platform signals a shift toward fully zero-labor greenhouse operations by 2040.
