Flox Intelligence is building AI to keep wildlife away from trains, airports, and roads

Key points

• Flox Intelligence, a startup spun out of KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 2020, has built edge devices that use AI to identify nearby animals and play species-appropriate sounds to scare them off. The devices vary their responses so animals do not become used to them.
• About 150 units are live across North America, Europe and Australia, at airports, road and rail corridors, national parks and mining sites.
• The company expects about $1.5 million in revenue by the end of 2026 and is opening a $10 million Series A to scale to several thousand devices.
