Stenon's core product, FarmLab, combines proprietary optical and electrical sensors, AI, agronomic models and cloud software to generate real-time soil data directly in the field. The company uniquely measures nitrogen available to the plant (Nmin) at scale in-field and couples that with SOC and other soil parameters to inform fertilization decisions. Customer case studies across multiple countries report economic impacts including 20%–40% savings on nitrogen fertilizers and 2%–8% increases in productivity for crops such as maize, beans, cotton, sugarcane, coffee, grains and vegetables. Stenon sells to distributors, retailers, cooperatives, agribusiness groups, equipment dealers and consultancies and reports deployments across commercial areas totaling millions of acres. Near-term plans include expanding commercial operations (with Brazil as a central market), improving regional calibration and localization, and evolving FarmLab into a continuous, machine-integrated nutrient intelligence platform. The company is investing in further sensor, model and platform development as part of its growth strategy.

Meatly was launched in 2022 and develops cultivated meat products, having achieved regulatory authorization in 2024 and sold the world’s first cultivated pet food in 2025. The company reports major cost reductions—its chemically defined protein-free medium reached £0.22 per liter in 2024 and it reduced bioreactor costs by about 10x in 2025—which it says underpin commercial viability. Meatly plans to build a 20,000-litre bioreactor facility in London, described as Europe’s largest of its kind, with fit-out beginning immediately and product releases expected in 2027. Financially, the company has raised £17.4 million to date, comprised of a £7 million seed round (led by Agronomics and Pets at Home) and the £10.4 million Series A announced here. Meatly frames these technical and regulatory milestones as the foundation for scaling commercial output and entering broader markets by 2027.

Eternal.ag designs and builds autonomous robots for greenhouse harvesting, with its first commercial product—Harvester—targeting tomato greenhouses. Harvester is a modular, AI-powered robot that can operate up to 22 hours a day and feeds data back into the system to improve performance. The company uses a simulation-first development approach to train and validate robots in virtual greenhouses, shortening iteration cycles. Eternal.ag envisions fully automated greenhouse operations by 2040 and plans to expand its platform with additional robotic functions for broader greenhouse tasks. Founded by Renji John and Sherry Kunjachan, the company has 26 employees and is headquartered in Cologne with an office in Bengaluru. Following the announced €8 million funding round, Eternal.ag intends to accelerate product development and expand commercial deployments across Europe while extending into additional crop types.

Founded in 2022 by Omar Dekkiche and Lucie Kriegshauser, PhD, Amatera is developing a high-throughput breeding platform that screens individual plant cells in culture to identify desirable genetic variations before regenerating them into full plants. This approach eliminates the costly and time-consuming step of growing all candidate plants, cutting the development cycle for new varieties of perennial crops such as coffee and wine grapes from decades to a few years. The company induces spontaneous, non-GMO genetic variation and then sequences and analyzes the resulting cell lines with robotics and AI to pinpoint traits like disease resistance, climate resilience, and flavor. Early candidates include a “Robustica” coffee combining Robusta resilience with Arabica taste, a naturally caffeine-free Arabica line, and wine grapes resistant to downy mildew and black rot. Amatera licenses finished varieties for perennial crops while offering its platform to seed companies working on annual row and vegetable crops. Proceeds from its latest funding will help scale the technology and secure additional commercial partnerships.

GoodBytz is a Hamburg-based food-tech company building robotic sous-chefs designed for B2B settings such as delivery kitchens, public infrastructure and workplace catering. The system breaks every cooking step into modules that can be arranged in various configurations and programmed through a simple UI, allowing customers to upload their own recipes. By using standard professional kitchen equipment rather than custom hardware, the robots are quick to install and familiar to chefs, while enabling healthier, largely plant-based menus. Beyond cooking, the firm intends to integrate inventory management, POS and delivery software to create a fully digital kitchen ecosystem that reduces food waste and improves profitability. GoodBytz was initially bootstrapped and supported by a grant from the IFB Hamburg InnoFounder Program, which funded its first prototype in three months. In its first institutional financing, the startup secured €2.5 million in seed capital from Oyster Bay Venture Capital to advance product development and run market pilots. The immediate roadmap includes operating its own delivery concept in Hamburg before rolling the robots out with external B2B customers.
