Overview
Founded by Jonathan Berte and Tim Waegeman in Ghent, Robovision builds a platform that makes computer vision accessible to industrial and enterprise customers who need to automate visual inspection, quality control, or object detection but lack the data science capacity to build models from scratch.
The platform covers the full lifecycle: data labeling, model training, deployment, and monitoring. It is used in manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and retail for applications ranging from defect detection on production lines to automated inventory tracking.
Robovision has raised $42M in total, with the Series A led by Target Global and Astanor Ventures. The company has US expansion plans, extending its reach beyond its established European customer base. With 50+ employees, Robovision represents one of Ghent's established AI platform companies with international ambitions.

- Driving at 120 km/h while looking exclusively in the rearview mirror sounds like a terrible idea, yet that’s how most companies still run their business. Traditional tools only tell you about the wall three weeks after you’ve hit it. Turns out, people prefer seeing the road ahead. Enter Peaky. We just raised €1.1M to build the future of financial planning, and we’re ready to accelerate well beyond 120 km/h. Thanks to our customers and early pilots for their trust.
