- Founded by Luca Alinovi and Fabrizio Cardillo , Aflabox is developing a field intelligence platform that enables rapid testing of mycotoxins, commercial quality assessment and food safety monitoring directly across agricultural supply chains.
The platform combines portable hardware, UV and white-light imaging, artificial intelligence, geolocated data collection and cloud-based dashboards.
- Aflabox is addressing the limitations of conventional mycotoxin testing, which typically relies on specialised laboratories, expensive equipment and processing times ranging from several hours to several days.
By moving testing closer to where crops are produced, collected, stored and traded, the company enables farmers, collection centres, food processors, exporters and public institutions to make faster, data-driven decisions.
- The new funding will support the validation and certification of the company's device, enhance its AI platform and improve detection accuracy, establish a micro-factory to manufacture Aflabox devices, strengthen its commercial presence in Kenya, Nigeria and Italy, expand its distribution network across Africa and Europe, and grow the team.
