-Seederal, a startup co-founded by Antoine VENET, Arthur Rivoal has raised 11 million euros to accelerate the development of its electric tractor! 🚜
In parallel with this fundraising, the startup, supported by the 21st accelerator, announced it has been selected for the France 2030 program, which will allow it to solidify its position as a pioneer in decarbonized agricultural machinery.
Seederal develops 100 to 200 HP tractors that can be used interchangeably with conventional tractors. This helps maintain productivity while significantly reducing CO2 emissions and reliance on hydrocarbons. These electric tractors are, therefore, a viable solution for modernizing agriculture while preserving the environment.

-Guided Energy raised €4.6 million from Sequoia Capital in February 2024 to transform electric vehicle fleet management.
This funding round will enable the company to accelerate its development and deploy its solution to thousands of commercial vehicles. The startup, co-founded by Anant Kapoor and Eric Daoud, offers operations automation software for electric vehicle fleets.
-Scienta Lab raised €4 million in December 2023 from CentraleSupélec Venture, to redefine precision immunology through the power of AI.
The deeptech startup co-founded by Camille Bouget, Vincent Bouget, Julien Duquesne and accelerated by 21st by CentraleSupélec since 2021, has welcomed CentraleSupélec Venture fund into its capital, after being supported by the CentraleSupélec foundation, as well as renowned business angels such as Flavien Kulawik (co-founder of KLB Group).
Scienta Lab is developing EVA, the first foundation model 100% dedicated to immunology and inflammation. Trained on a large amount of data describing clinical symptoms, biological perturbations, and genomic profiles, it accelerates every step of new drug discovery, from identifying the therapeutic target to understanding its biological mechanism of action and characterizing the patient subgroup that will benefit from the treatment.
-Spark Cleantech raised 4 million euros in October 2023 from Asterion Ventures to decarbonize industry using green hydrogen.
The startup is co-founded by Erwan Pannier and Patrick Peters, produces decarbonized hydrogen using 4x less electricity than water electrolysis, directly at the point of consumption. Spark uses a patented pulsed cold plasma process that separates (bio)methane into hydrogen and solid carbon, thus without CO2 emissions.
The modular Spark system will enable the production of up to 1000 kg of hydrogen per day, directly on-site, to meet industrial needs by eliminating the constraints and costs of hydrogen transport and storage.
-NcodiN has raised 3.5 million euros to revolutionize AI processors in the semiconductor industry with advanced optical interposer technology🧬
This fundraising will enable the startup to accelerate the development of its integrated optical link prototype (MVP), while fueling the company's rapid growth to meet the needs of industrial clients.
The French Deeptech startup co-founded by Francesco Manegatti, PhD, Bruno Garbin, Fabrice Raineri, accelerated by 21st by CentraleSupélec is revolutionizing optical interposer technology with its nanolasers and nanodetectors. These optoelectronic components are the result of over 15 years of research at CNRS C2N - Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies near Paris, one of Europe's leading academic institutions in nanophotonics. The company's mission is to provide cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of customers in the disaggregated processor industry.

-Carbon Farm raised €2.5 million in October 2023 from Techmind, Racine² to decarbonize rice farming and promote sustainable practices.
Co-founded by Vassily Carantino & James Hastwell, the startup uses satellite data to certify sustainable agricultural practices.
Agriculture could become carbon negative if farmers adopted regenerative agricultural practices worldwide. CarbonFarm makes regenerative agriculture profitable for rice farmers and rice buyers through satellite-verified carbon credits. To achieve this, the startup monitors emissions using artificial intelligence and satellite imagery, and we handle the certification of carbon credits. The project is supported by the European Space Agency - ESA and will be co-supported in partnership with AgroParisTech.

-Osiris Agriculture raised €2.15 million in October 2023 from Finovam Gestion to transform agricultural practices and industrialize its irrigation solution.
The startup is co-founded by Henri Desesquelles, Rodolphe Cockenpot and Léon Guyard are developing an autonomous robot capable of automating irrigation, fertilization, and crop protection tasks for potatoes and vegetables. This robot empowers farmers to achieve a smooth and profitable agroecological transition.
- 📢Edonia, producer of the first plant-based ingredient more nutritious than meat, has announced a €2 million fundraising round fromAsterion Ventures !
This funding round will enable the startup, co-supported by the teams from CentraleSupélec andAgroParisTech, to accelerate its pre-industrial scaling.
Edonia, a startup co-founded by Hugo VALENTIN, Pierre Mignon, Nicolas IRLINGER transforms microalgae biomass into a textured super-ingredient with numerous nutritional and environmental qualities. These assets make it an ideal candidate to replace minced meat in culinary preparations: the product positions itself as the first plant-based alternative with superior nutritional performance compared to meat. This funding round will enable the startup to accelerate its industrialization and R&D.
