Investors pumped $10.8 billion into AI startups in Europe last year, according to PitchBook...

Previously, we published a deep dive on the future of sustainability and highlighted some of our portfolio companies spearheading the way. On the back of this, we spoke with six of our founders ...

"London-headquartered agtech firm Gardin has raised $10.8 million in a seed funding round. The company combines machine learning methods and remote optical sensors to provide growers with detailed data about the health of individual plants, all without the need to manually assess or conduct destructive chemical analyses. The funding will be used to ..."

"The idea for agritech startup Gardin came to physicist Sumanta Talukdar in summer of 2019, after consuming a very bad batch of Tesco tomatoes. "They looked great. Nice, round, perfect shape – very, very red," he says. "But when you ate them, they tasted of nothing.""

"The emergence of new technologies, including mobile app-based services, is transforming the way that the food industry operates, and giving rise to a new digital industry, known as foodtech. Innovations that meet growing consumer demands for convenience, product freshness and environmental sustainability are set to define the future of this sector."
