Gaïago has completed a fundraising from Telos Impact, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, Unexo and partner banks

Gaïago has completed a fundraising from Telos Impact, We Positive Invest – the social innovation fund of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, Unexo – from Crédit Mutuel Group, A+, Bpifrance and partner banks.

Founded in 2014, Gaïago provides innovative solutions based on selective activation of microbiology, mainly in soil, but also in seeds and plants, to revitalize the agrosystems. The company has developed unique solutions, such as the first soil prebiotic. This product awakens and develops beneficial soil micro-organisms and hence generates numerous agronomic, nutritional and environmental benefits. The Gaïago products are currently distributed in eight countries in Europe. Gaïago, based in Saint Malo, France, aims to set up, with its partners, the revitalization of soils and agrosystems.

Oaklins’ team in France acted as financial advisor to Gaïago in this transaction.

“With this round of financing, Gaïago will advance its natural solutions for healthy soil and agriculture, the quality of the harvests and the profit for the farmers. We are going to extend the technical and economic performances obtained with our farmer-researcher partners to all types of agriculture. This is a real breakthrough for the agricultural world, the agro-food industry and the planet. Thanks to the Oaklins team, who helped us raise the funds, we can now count on the support of Telos Impact, We Positive Invest (Arkea group) and UNEXO (Crédit Agricole group) to accompany us in this acceleration.”
