That's 35% less than in 2022 but still more than in 2020. 🌍 Investments are declining in Europe as in the rest of the world... but much less so. In 2023, Europe's FoodTech accounted for an unprecedented 35% of the global FoodTech investments! 🚜 Investments increased in AgTech and Foodscience startups, which is quite surprising given the pretty gloomy context we are in.

The French #FoodTech: a promising ecosystem on the road to maturity! In 2023, La French Tech celebrates its 10th anniversary! We are taking a closer look at the French FoodTech sector to mark the occasion. In 2022, the ecosystem attracted €1.1bn of investment in France, according to DigitalFoodLab. The French FoodTech has experienced continuous and impressive growth since 2017, accumulating nearly €3.3bn in investments since 2017. The recent fundraisings by Ÿnsect (€160M, April 2023) and Innovafeed (€250M, September 2022) symbolise the promising growth of the French FoodTech. With #France2030, a massive investment program in disruptive innovations, the dynamism of the ecosystem will continue to grow further. The challenges of food sovereignty and environmental transition are the heart of France 2030 and other specific support programmes, to the tune of €3 billion, to help the most promising technology companies grow.
