Overview
What they do
Originally established in 2018 as the sole investment arm of German agricultural giant BayWa AG, the firm evolved significantly in February 2024. To expand its impact and pool resources, BayWa spun the unit into the "AgriFoodTech Venture Alliance" by bringing on two equal minority partners: packaging specialist MULTIVAC and the Bindewald and Gutting Mühlengruppe. The alliance is uniquely positioned in the European ecosystem as both a financial investor and a highly strategic cooperation partner, offering startups unparalleled access to the entire food value chain.
