Flox Intelligence uses edge AI to deter wildlife
What happened
Flox Intelligence, spun out of Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology, develops edge devices that run inference locally: a motion sensor wakes the camera, an on-device model identifies the animal species and plays a corresponding sound to deter it, varying the response so animals do not habituate. According to a TechCrunch report on 14 October 2026, about 150 devices are currently deployed at airports, along roads and railways, and in national parks across North America, Europe and Australia. The company expects revenue of about $1.5 million by the end of 2026, has raised about $5 million in total, and is starting a $10 million Series A.
