PlantBit
PlantBit is an agritech startup and spinout of Italy's National Research Council that raised a €200,000 funding round from Scientifica Venture Capital and Terra Next. It develops Bioristor, an organic electrochemical transistor biosensor inserted into plant stems and connected to an IoT unit and app. The device monitors plant health, detects water stress, and provides data to guide irrigation, nutrient use, and phytosanitary treatments. The company said the investment will support Bioristor's pre-industrialization and finalization for market entry.
