Roosendaal, Netherlands, 10 May 2023 – Today, Oxbo announces that its project proposal to invest in future technology for vegetable harvesting equipment will be made possible in part by a contribution from the National Growth Fund program NXTGEN HIGHTECH. Oxbo is one of a select group of companies planning to contribute new technology and smart solutions to address the need for automation and robotics in agriculture and to ensure that future agricultural machines can work safely and reliably without a driver.
“We are pleased that our project was named for support through NXTGEN HIGHTECH,” commented Roel Zeevat, Oxbo CEO. “It is an honor to receive this support; NXTGEN HIGHTECH will allow our engineering team to accelerate planned product development designed to deliver new technology for vegetable customers.”

With its roots deep in the mechanization of vegetable harvesting, Oxbo remains committed to developing and integrating technology to meet the needs of this important agricultural sector.
