Nebraska Innovation Campus

With a $30 million Series A raise, Marble Technologies is creating the future of meatpacking in Nebraska.

This Lincoln-based startup is building complex robotics and artificial intelligence systems to automate meatpacking. With its beef industry expertise and of Nebraska System talent, Nebraska has been key to Marble’s success.

In 2022, Marble built a pilot system in its space on the Nebraska Innovation Campus. Meatpackers could see the system in action, and their comments about it were overwhelmingly positive. The next year, the pilot was installed on a real pack-off line, and another year after that, the pilot was switched out for Marble’s full commercial pack-off line.
