Sereact builds AI software models that give robots general-purpose visual perception and manipulation abilities, and it ships those models to run on a wide range of robot hardware. The company launched Cortex 2, an AI model that trains robots on different physical behaviors so they can select the action most likely to succeed. Sereact says it does not build robots or sell services, positioning its shipped model as the product that runs on single-arm, dual-arm, humanoid and fixed-cell robots. Its technology is deployed with customers including BMW, Daimler Truck, Bol and Active Ants, and real-world deployments generate a data flywheel that improves system performance. The company was founded in 2021, is based in Stuttgart, employs about 100 people, and is using new funding to further develop Cortex 2 and expand into the U.S., including a Boston office.

Founded in 2025 and based in Wageningen, Aardaia builds a breeding platform that combines whole-genome sequencing, computational biology and phenotyping to identify and domesticate wild plant species. The company explicitly avoids genetic modification and gene editing, instead accelerating conventional breeding through predictive genomics and high-throughput evaluation. Its first product, the aardaker, is a protein-rich tuber intended to combine root-crop productivity with legume-like nitrogen-fixing properties and to reduce reliance on imported protein crops while requiring no synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Aardaia expects to screen about 750,000 unique aardaker genotypes this year and plans to scale that to roughly two million with the new funding. The €5 million seed raise will be used to expand the breeding platform and speed development of the aardaker as it continues to create new crop varieties from wild species.

Modern Relay provides an operational foundation that lets organisations coordinate people and AI agents from a single canonical representation of company context (people, policies, data, and decisions). It released Omnigraph, an open-source, Git-style graph database designed for agents to branch, propose parallel changes, and merge approved updates back into a canonical graph. The company stresses that its infrastructure runs on customer-owned systems to keep organisational data and governance under the customer's control. Modern Relay was founded in 2025 by Ragnor Comerford and Aaron Goh and is headquartered in San Francisco and Barcelona. The team reports internal usage with employees running multiple agents to draft research, ship code, and handle operations, indicating early product traction. The firm's stated mission is to prevent fragmentation as agents proliferate across departments by providing a shared layer for coordination and governance.

Wikifarmer began as a free agricultural knowledge platform—used by more than 12 million visitors in 17 languages—and has expanded into a B2B marketplace that leverages AI to automate price discovery, forecast market trends, match buyers with verified suppliers, and manage transactions. The company promotes a "from learning to earning" model that links users of its knowledge platform into the marketplace. Wikifarmer aims to create an operating system for agricultural trade by digitizing multiple stages of the trading process, including pricing, negotiations, quality assurance, logistics, payments, and financing. Its AI capabilities cover price intelligence, market forecasting, automated buyer-supplier matching, and transaction management tools such as quote requests, offer comparisons, documentation, and credit risk assessment. The company plans geographic expansion into Latin America and Africa and to commercialize FarmClick in Greece through a strategic partnership with Piraeus Bank. Financially, Wikifarmer has raised $7.7 million in the latest round, bringing total funding to roughly $18 million.
