Axioma teams up with two investors to become a future agritech champion

AXIOMA is a designer and manufacturer of biosolutions for the agricultural world. The company has developed a proprietary technology (Bio Activating Mix) based on the complex arrangement of natural active ingredients from plant extractions. This technology allows farmers to be proactive in the fight against the effects of climate change, these major stresses that directly impact crop yields and quality.

No nutrient content, less energy-intensive industrial processes and precise identification of the market, make AXIOMA a future agritech champion on the world stage.

Rewarded FrenchTech AGRI20 in 2022 and winner of several calls for innovation and industrialization projects, AXIOMA is now entering its international growth phase.

In recent years, the management team had clearly identified AXIOMA's needs:

- finance a first Marketing Authorization (AMM) in 2017

- finance commercial development in France (Contracts) in 2020

- finance a production unit in France (large capacity) in 2021

… and today, in 2023, maintain its technological lead and finance its international commercial development by focusing in particular on Latin America, North America and Oceania.

AXIOMA is particularly pleased to welcome the VitiRev Innovation fund led by the Demeter teams as well as the BNP Paribas Solar Impulse Venture Fund, the result of cooperation between BNP Paribas and the Solar Impulse foundation of Bertrand PICCARD.

This fundraising is part of an operation of €15 million intended to accelerate commercial deployment, in particular through new international partnerships.

Anthony BUGEAT - CEO AXIOMA

″The arrival of Demeter and BNPP SIVF in the capital of AXIOMA marks an important step in the life of the company. Beyond the development objectives, this operation will allow us to meet major challenges: to grow more and faster. AXIOMA is now fully part of the agritech innovation landscape in France and internationally.

More generally, this operation marks the entry into maturity of our agricultural biosolutions sector, the global market of which will be worth 5 billion dollars before 2030.

I would like to thank the AXIOMA teams who do a tremendous job on a daily basis, our private and public financial partners, our suppliers and customers as well as all those who support AXIOMA in its approach to the 3rd agricultural revolution, to feed the world and feed it better."

For 10 years, AXIOMA has demonstrated its ability to develop, industrialize and market a full range of high-performance biosolutions for the agricultural and wine-growing sectors. The marketing authorizations obtained and the distribution contracts signed by AXIOMA with renowned customers confirm the excellence of its products. We are pleased to commit ourselves alongside Anthony and his teams to support them in their future technical and commercial developments in the biosolutions and biocontrol market, which are an integral part of the solutions serving the environmental transition of the agricultural and wine sectors.
