## About

Based in Skåne County, Sweden and founded in 2021, NFA Forestry Automation AB provides forestry automation and machine perception solutions for the forestry sector. The company was founded by Lars Svensson and David Gillsjo. In June 2026, NFA Forestry Automation AB raised SEK 48 million in seed funding co-led by returning investors ALMI Invest and Navigare Ventures, with participation from other returning investors Sveaskog and Sodra Adla. Investor LRF Ventures also participated in the round.
NFA Forestry Automation AB specializes in developing advanced digital operator support systems for forest harvesting machines. The company’s product is a sensor-based system that detects, positions, measures, and classifies surrounding trees, providing measurements of the machine's position and orientation with centimeter accuracy. This technology facilitates feedback and generates inventories of individual trees, enabling forest management practices. The firm leverages artificial intelligence-based technology for thinning in forestry management.
The company generates revenue from forestry technology deployments, operator support systems, machine perception software, automation solutions, and related digital forestry products. Additional revenue is derived from commercial installations, software-enabled forestry operations, and technology adoption among forestry companies.
The company plans to use the funding to advance the development of operator support and automation technologies for forestry machinery, including next-generation products such as tree species identification, stem shape measurement, and semi-automation.
