Biorsaf, a Tuscan start-up that develops technological solutions for food, work and water safety, has closed a 1.4 million euro investment round led by Maia Ventures and Farming Future, the National Agrifood Techn Transfer Hub promoted by CDP Venture Capital SGR in collaboration with ToSeed & Partners. Also participating in the operation was the Toscana Next Fund, the co-investment fund created to support start-ups and innovation initiatives in Tuscany, set up and managed by CDP Venture Capital SGR and subscribed by the main banking foundations in the Tuscany Region (Fondazione CR Firenze, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca, Fondazione Caript, Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena).
Founded by a team with decades of experience in the field of food safety, Biorsaf has developed an advanced technology platform that enables centralised automated management of safety protocols (such as HACCP - Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), improving operational efficiency, traceability and regulatory compliance in control processes. Launched on the market at the end of 2023, today Biorsaf serves major customers in the HORECA, large-scale retail trade and food production sectors, working both directly with quality managers and as a trusted partner for consultants.
Biorsaf's technology eliminates paper-based management, simplifies monitoring of critical control points and provides real-time access to data, supporting companies of all sizes in complying with safety standards and new industry regulations. The system integrates advanced functions for recording and archiving controls, helping to make processes more efficient, sustainable and secure.
"This investment will allow us to accelerate the technological development of our platform and expand our market presence," said Biorsaf CEO Marco Papalini. "Our goal is to provide companies in the agrifood sector with advanced digital tools to improve the management of safety and sustainability, responding to the sector’s new regulatory and operational requirements."
"The investment in Biorsaf is a clear sign of our commitment to a more secure and sustainable future," explained Claudia Pingue, Senior Partner of CDP Venture Capital SGR and Manager of the Technology Transfer Fund. "Using cutting-edge technologies, this company is at the forefront of ensuring food safety, an increasingly crucial issue for consumers and industries around the world."
The investment will support Biorsaf in further developing the platform, expanding the team and accelerating expansion into new markets, with an important focus on generative artificial intelligence and the consolidation of digitised solutions for managing safety in all sectors.
