Berlin-based FoodLabs has closed a €105M third fund to support startups reshaping the future of food at the intersection of sustainability, health, and climate technology.
The firm plans to deploy capital across agriculture, food-system resilience, and next-generation health solutions.
Investing In The Infrastructure Of Tomorrow’s Food System
Within agriculture, the firm is backing technologies that improve yields while reducing dependency on chemical inputs. Its early investments include Voltrac, which develops autonomous tractors, and Deutsche Agrarfinanz (DAF), an agri-fintech that provides short-term financing for farmers.
FoodLabs’ LP base includes a diverse group of strategic investors such as Bitburger Holding, Nestlé, Red Bull, and Germany’s agricultural development bank, Rentenbank.

From Venture Studio To Leading European Food-Tech Investor
Founded in 2016 by Christophe F. Maire, FoodLabs emerged from the belief that one of the world’s most climate-critical industries remained under-digitised and ripe for transformation. The firm blends classic venture investing with hands-on venture-studio support, helping founders validate ideas, scale technology, and build partnerships with producers and research institutions.
Its portfolio spans precision-fermented dairy (Formo), regenerative agriculture platforms (Klim), and mycelium-driven protein solutions (Infinite Roots), reflecting its focus on reshaping how food is produced and consumed.
Building A More Resilient And Regenerative Food System
FoodLabs aims to accelerate innovations that strengthen food security, reduce emissions, and promote healthier consumption. By combining scientific expertise, early operational support, and strategic industry relationships, the firm positions itself as one of Europe’s most active early-stage investors in sustainable food innovation.
