UBEES secures €8M to support global expansion of regenerative pollination

UBEES, a European innovator in regenerative agriculture, has successfully secured €8 million in Series A funding. This significant investment, co-led by prominent European venture capital firms Starquest and Capagro, alongside Newtree Impact, underscores the growing importance of integrating pollination services into agricultural value chains and global expansion strategies. The funding will accelerate UBEES' mission to embed pollination as a structured, economically viable component of modern farming systems. The company leverages advanced technology, including connected beehives equipped with sensors, to gather critical data on pollinator health and environmental conditions. This data, covering factors like crop yield, quality, biodiversity, and carbon footprint, informs precise recommendations for optimizing agricultural practices. UBEES' approach moves beyond traditional beekeeping, offering comprehensive pollination programs and on-the-ground support across diverse sectors such as agri-food, cosmetics, and energy, demonstrating a sophisticated digital integration into a fundamental ecological process. With operations spanning over fifteen countries, UBEES is set to expand its reach into key markets in Latin America and Africa, focusing on crops like coffee, berries, avocados, and cocoa. The new capital will also fuel further development of its embedded technologies for enhanced pollinator monitoring and data analytics. This expansion positions UBEES as a key player in promoting resilient and productive farming while fostering biodiversity and providing new income streams for smallholder farmers.
