Roboxi, a Stavanger-based startup specializing in airport airside automation and autonomy, has completed a share issue raising approximately 13 million euros in new equity. The transaction drew significant interest from new and existing shareholders, with primary investors based in the Rogaland region of Norway. The capital will support the company's growth, fund strategic initiatives, and strengthen its balance sheet.

Chief Executive Officer Magnus O. Finnesand said the completion marks an important milestone. The funds will enable scaling operations, delivering on committed contracts, strengthening market position, and investing in innovation.

Founded in 2018, Roboxi provides multi-functional autonomous solutions for runway, taxiway, and apron inspection and maintenance. Its offerings include real-time safety monitoring, Foreign Object Debris detection and collection, runway light inspection, surface inspection using high-speed 3D laser technology, and bird detection and deterrence. Robotic systems and API platforms integrate with existing airport systems to digitize workflows.

The company has secured approval for its solutions in cooperation with Avinor and Norwegian Civil Aviation Authorities. It has implemented the world's first airport automatic AI-driven FOD detection and collection system, along with light and surface inspection systems. Roboxi maintains customer relations with airports including Schiphol, Frankfurt, Firenze, Dallas, and Stavanger.

Chairperson Knut Molaug noted strong investor support validates the company's vision and technology. The capital positions Roboxi to scale operations and deliver value to customers.
