How Avidbots went from startup to global robotics company

Our countdown to Hannover Messe 2025 continues with Avidbots, a Kitchener-based robotics company making waves in industrial automation. In this episode, Pablo Molina, Co-Founder & CTO, shares how Avidbots grew from a small office in Waterloo to a multinational company shipping autonomous cleaning robots worldwide.

Pablo pulls no punches about Canada’s lagging adoption of robotics and lack of investment in scaling up the industry. As a member of the Canadian Robotics Council (CRC), he is working to change that by advocating for policies that support homegrown robotics innovation.

The episode wraps up with a look at Avidbots’ participation at Hannover Messe 2025 and Pablo’s take on the rumors about which musical act will be playing at NGen’s Hannover Messe reception. Have a listen.
