Innovative Co Kilkenny start-up Autocoupler has been named the 2025 AgTechUCD One to Watch Award winner at the completion of University College Dublin’s fourth round of the programme at UCD Lyons Farm.

The patented Autocoupler system allows a loader to attach to any agricultural implement, automatically coupling the loader’s hydraulic circuit to the implement and then locking the implement in place with the loader’s locking system.
