Arborea scores new investment of €5 million
Big things are happening in our portfolio! Arborea has secured €5 million in funding to take their Biosolar Leaf technology to the next level.
This innovative system uses sunlight, CO2 and microalgae to create nutrient-rich proteins and ingredients, all with a carbon-neutral footprint. A sustainable solution to global food challenges. Without the need for agricultural land it has the potential to bring us back within the boundaries; no eutrophication, net zero, no land use change.
After commissioning the factory we saw with our own eyes that the thesis of low Capex & Low Opex production of proteins upholds and has the potential to be a building block for food transition.
We look forward to continuing our support of Arborea on their journey. From the start, they have been a shining example of what it means to unite powerful impact with a scalable business. This new funding round marks another important step toward making their nature-positive approach a reality at scale.
A big congratulations to Julian Melchiorri, Joana Silva, Dr Kaly Chatakondu and the Arborea team—your progress continues to drive meaningful change!
