Stockholm-based Flox Intelligence secured €2.5 million in fresh funding to scale its AI-powered wildlife management platform, acting as a “digital shepherd” that guides animals away from human infrastructure like roads, railways, and airports.
Breakthrough Technology and Applications
Flox’s core innovation, Flox Edge, deploys autonomous AI devices using adaptive bioacoustics to communicate with wildlife in real-time, deterring them non-lethally. The system connects to the Flox Wildlife Platform for 24/7 monitoring, protecting agriculture, aquaculture, aviation, and transport networks from costly collisions.
After four years of R&D with biologists and partners like WWF, Alstom, Boliden Minerals, and Swedish Transport Administration, the first 2025 production batches sold out rapidly. Recent awards include InfraAwards 2025 for Flox Edge and H.M. The King’s Young Pioneer Award for CEO Sara Nožková.
Funding Momentum and Global Expansion
This latest round builds on prior raises: nearly €1M Seed in 2025 led by Unconventional Ventures (with Norrsken Accelerate, Almi Invest) and a $3M extension backed by Tilia Impact Ventures, Satgana, and Genius NY. Funds target US commercialization, where Flox’s team operates alongside Stockholm R&D.
The company now serves ~50 customers, blending VC capital, grants like Vinnova’s SEK 3.3M for Alstom rail tests, and deployment revenue for hypergrowth.
CEO Vision and Impact Potential
Sara Nožková envisions landscapes where humans and wildlife coexist seamlessly, addressing 5,000+ annual Swedish animal-train collisions and global infrastructure risks. Flox combines AI precision with nature-positive outcomes, positioning Sweden’s deep tech at the forefront of nature-tech innovation.
