On 5 October 2025, our partner ILVO participated in the VOKA Open Bedrijvendag – the Flemish Open Company Day.
This annual initiative opens the doors of companies and research institutions across Flanders to the general public, giving people a closer look at innovation in action.
At the ILVO campus, more than 1,500 visitors explored research on sustainable agriculture, including a live demonstration of the SQAT robot.
The robot performed its stop-and-go sampling task for an audience of all ages – from farming professionals to families with children.

The robot performed its stop-and-go sampling task for an audience of all ages – from farming professionals to families with children.
The striking motion of the robot’s sampling hammer especially caught the attention of young visitors, while others were fascinated by the potential this technology offers for soil monitoring and precision agriculture.
This event reflects SQAT’s commitment to public engagement, transparent science, and developing tools that are relevant and accessible to everyone — not just within the agri-tech world, but in broader society too.
