A University of Glasgow graduate is on course to scale the production of commercial robotic lawn mowers, having secured £2m in funding from Scottish Enterprise, Metaplanet, Ironwolf, Superangel and Specialist VC.
Joan Kangro, originally from Estonia, but now living in Glasgow, established Kingdom Technologies in 2018 after graduating. With support from the European Regional Development Fund through Glasgow City Council’s business advisory scheme and The University of Glasgow, he then went on to win in the Scottish Edge Wild Card competition and RSE Unlocking Ambition Enterprise Fellowship.
Kingdom Technologies develops autonomous robotic lawn mowers for commercial customers requiring large areas of grass to be mown. The company already lists golf courses and local authorities among its clients.
