Deere & Company has released the names of eight companies chosen for its 2023 Startup Collaborator program. The Startup Collaborator was launched in 2019 and helps John Deere keep abreast of advancements in precision technology that could progress its agriculture and construction equipment.
What better way is there than to be fed all the relevant information about company activities, as was in the case of a Startup Collaborator deal with Bear Flag Robotics that was eventually purchased by John Deere in 2021 to support the company’s autonomous tractor solutions.
