This isDigitalFoodLab’sfirstglobalFoodTechinvestmentreport. While we started with our European investments report, it was becoming increasingly important toprovide a global perspective on the AgriFoodTech ecosystem to help our clients identify the best startups andthe best partners. This report focuses on investments in FoodTech startups from 2014 to thefirst half of 2024,with specific attention to the last 18 months and what they can tell us about the evolution of the agrifoodinnovation ecosystem. 72%lessinvestmentsinFoodTechstartupsintwoyears,butabouncebackisinsightHello, FoodTechstartupsraised$15.1Bin2023, 48% less than in 2022 and an impressive 72% decrease from thehighs of 2021. However, for thefirst half of 2024, FoodTech startups have already raised $7.9B, showing thefirst hint of a bounce back. 5Investments in delivery startups have long been the cornerstone of the FoodTech ecosystem, accounting forup to 74% of all funding. In 2023, however, it reached a low point, with only 21% of the money invested inFoodTech startups going to delivery players. While we observe both a relative and absolute bounce back in2024, it is mainly driven by a handful of players raising massive amounts of money. In the meantime, theshare of investments in upstream and midstream startups has increased beyond 50%, notably for AgTechstartups focused on sustainability and for Food Science startups. Global FoodTech investment report - 2024 Seedinvestmentshavedecreaseddramaticallyinthefirsthalfof2024.While early-stage (seed and SeriesA) investments remained comparatively strong during 2022 and 2023, they are now to be severely affected. Thefunding strength observed in early 2024 was indeed due to late-stage deals. This is only a point of attention,but it could become worrying if it continues, as early-stage investments are fundamental in developing ahealthy ecosystem. Investmentsinupstreamandmidstreamstartupsincreased Beyond investments, we also currently observe a surge in partnerships announced between startups andleading companies, notably for AgTech and Food Science startups. Delivering value through these deals couldbe fundamental to creating a new cycle of trust and investment growth in FoodTech. WhatisFoodTech?
