The use of robotic technology is on the rise in all industries including agriculture. And robotics has made its way into our 2018 Corporate Accelerator Program! This week we are highlighting Pharm Robotics and their high-tech solution to a real problem on dairy farms.

With a cohort of companies ranging from artificial intelligence to organic ice cream sandwiches, Sprint Accelerator demonstrates its strength by creating an environment where founders and their teams can learn and develop alongside disparate forms of innovation, Doug Dresslaer said.

Nine startups from the technology, agriculture and food-product sectors will participate in the Sprint Accelerator’s 2018 program, the Kansas City-based accelerator announced Monday.

The 90-day program uses corporate partners to provide “mentorship, connections and resources” to selected startups, according to its website. The chosen startups were identified through the business needs of corporate partners, who in turn provide goal planning and mentorship throughout the program.

Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), a national cooperative owned by family farmers, and Sprint announced the companies selected for the 2018 Accelerator program, which includes startups focused on ag tech and dairy food products. For the 2018 program, DFA also will be joined by CoBank, a cooperative bank serving vital industries across rural America, as a supporting partner.
