E.E: What estimations do you have for 2024?
For 2024, Innok Robotics anticipates continued growth and expansion across 2024 has been an exceptional year for us so far, in which we recorded our first seven- figure record order intake in the first half of the year. This is outstanding, as the first half of the financial year has so far been a rather quiet period for Innok Robotics. Our turnover has quadrupled compared to 2021 and 2023. These figures reflect the steady trust of our customers and the continued strong increase in demand for our innovative solutions. Innok MULTITERRAIN is exactly the solution that was missing in the autonomous robot market. Multiterrain means that our robots can move indoors and outdoors, on good and bad surfaces, over obstacles and in all weathers, e.g. from hall to hall, and transport goods autonomously.
Our internationalization continues to gather pace. For example, we have put the first RAINOS irrigation robots into operation in Switzerland. The successful implementation of the INDUROS in a logistics center of the Swiss Army demonstrates the potential of our technology in critical and demanding environments. In Italy, we delivered an INDUROS to Innok partner and integrator Alascom, marking the start of a promising market presence.

In Austria, we were able to present RAINOS at the Vienna Central Cemetery. RAINOS masters all environments and cemetery sizes from just 200 to many thousands or even tens of thousands of graves. We also have concrete prospects in the Czech Republic and the USA and are holding promising talks.
These steps towards internationalization not only open up new markets for us, but also consolidate our position as a global innovation leader in the field of autonomous indoor, outdoor and multi-terrain robotics. We are supporting more and more of the world‘s lea- ding companies with our advanced solutions to increase their efficiency and productivity.
