Mitti Labs combines SAR satellite imagery, proprietary field datasets, and AI to create digital twins of individual rice fields that monitor crop conditions, water use, and methane emissions. Since launching its first programs in 2023, the startup grew from working with about 8,000 farmers in its first season to more than 100,000 in the following season and now employs over 150 people. Mitti Labs generates revenue from carbon credits and its GeoAI platform and counts customers such as carbon marketplace Cool Effect, rice producer Ebro Foods, and Syngenta. The company says its programs enable farmers to cut water use by about 40% and reduce methane emissions by more than 50% without affecting yields while creating additional income through carbon credits. With the new funding, Mitti Labs plans to expand into the Philippines later in the year and to Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets in 2027 to serve compliance carbon markets and broaden its data generation across different ecosystems.

Syntetica has developed a novel approach to recycling two hard-to-separate nylons—Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6—into pellets that can be used by manufacturers to make yarn. The company was co-founded by CEO Marco Bertone and chemistry researcher Louis Monsigny and has built early industrial partnerships, including with Michelin’s Centre for Sustainable Materials and apparel makers such as Lululemon, Victoria’s Secret and Etam. Syntetica does not produce finished textiles itself; instead it supplies recycled pellets to downstream manufacturers like MAS Holdings. The startup has received public backing from Bpifrance’s Ecotechnologies 2 fund and support from the European Innovation Council alongside private investors including EQT Ventures and SWEN Capital Partners. With its Series A funding, Syntetica aims to demonstrate production at the scale of hundreds of tons per year and then expand by building facilities near waste sources and textile production hubs. The team has added technical leadership and industry advisors to support scaling and commercialization.

MacroCycle Technologies uses its patented SolvoGenesis chemistry to upcycle plastic waste into virgin-grade plastic with zero carbon emissions without breaking down the polymer. The process consumes 80 percent less energy than traditional plastic recycling, with the remaining energy supplied by renewables. MacroCycle can produce virgin-grade recycled PET from feedstocks such as bottles, food trays, and polyester textiles. The company plans to scale pilot plant facilities to meet demand from initial customers and to validate large-scale production. Its first pilot plant will produce the first bottles and garments made entirely from MacroCycle’s recycled PET resin. MacroCycle raised $6.5M in Seed funding to hire and expand pilot operations. The technology’s groundwork came from academic work by co-founder and CTO Dr. Jan-Georg Rosenboom and colleagues at MIT, ETH Zurich and Politecnico Di Milano, and the company positions itself to address a $700B linear plastics market with a drop-in, more efficient solution.

Novameat develops sustainable plant-based meats that replicate fibrous meat textures using its proprietary MicroForce technology, which scales 3D‑printing principles to industrial production. Led by CEO Giuseppe Scionti, the team combines advanced food science and culinary expertise to build texture and product formulations. The company has introduced products across Europe, industrially scaled its MicroForce technology, and modified its production facility to meet BRCGS requirements. Novameat plans to use the new funding to further scale production through MicroForce, launch an expanded product range, and boost global market reach and commercial activities. The company positions itself to expand commercial operations and production capacity following this round. Novameat develops proprietary technologies to create plant-based meat substitutes that aim to match the texture, appearance, taste and nutritional properties of animal meat. Its 3D-printed steak uses pea protein, beetroot juice and other plant-based ingredients; the company has also developed whole-cut formats including tenderloins, steaks and fillets. In January 2022 it announced a meat substitute made from highly temperature-sensitive ingredients. Novameat claims its patented technology can scale production to more than 500 kg/h with industrial equipment and that current production speed is about 15 times faster than typical high‑moisture extrusion. The company plans its products to enter Spanish steak-houses and restaurants in 2022 and expects retail availability in 2023 via partnerships with established food and beverage companies. Recent fundraising and a European Innovation Council Accelerator grant are intended to accelerate product development and production scalability. Novameat develops a customized 3D-bioprinting platform and scaffolding technology designed to mimic the texture, appearance, nutritional and sensorial properties of fibrous meats such as steaks, chicken breasts and fish filets. The company licenses its printing machinery to plant-based meat manufacturers so they can create whole-muscle textures that traditional extrusion technologies struggle to reproduce. Novameat's founder, biomedical engineer Giuseppe Scionti, built the company on a decade of academic research and produced the world’s first 3D-printed plant-based beefsteak in 2018. The firm says its micro-extrusion approach can deliver three-dimensional fibrous structures without long incubation periods, which it argues will reduce time and cost to produce meat substitutes. Novameat intends to use new investment capital from New Crop Capital to further develop the platform and accelerate commercialization across multiple meat categories. The company is positioning its technology as applicable to both plant-based and lab-cultured alternatives.
