About
Nileworks is a Japanese agricultural technology company that develops hyper-precise automated drone systems for crop spraying and growth diagnosis.

Nileworks serves rice and other crop farmers in Japan and has secured investment from Sumitomo Corporation and Yamaha Motor, which uses Nileworks' technology to build out its own drone agriculture business.
